DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
You will not need to worry about the food on the day. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, then clear up.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal.

The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook. By late September, sunset in Well End is around 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
