DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Welborne: your questions answered
Can you roast near the sea around Welborne?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Francis?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Is our garden big enough?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Tell us about the garden and we’ll advise.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
How does hog roast hire work?

Planners, venues and businesses
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
Name someone to meet us, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
A closer look at the menu
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, carved to order at the serving station.
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Light matters for a long roast: around Welborne, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Before we arrive
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
