DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

What affects the price in Udimore
The biggest factors are:
- Menu choices and extras
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The date and time of year
- The number of people
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

How the day works
Here’s how the day generally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Late September evenings in Udimore lose the light at about 7:00pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
