Slow-roasted pork in West Hoathly
Is a hog roast right for your event?
A hog roast has one downside: it is pork. That is why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What you get with us
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- No surprises: everything in writing

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
Let us know if the day runs late: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

What a hog roast costs
There is no fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether you want china
- The journey to the venue
- Which meats and sides you choose
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- A picture of the cooking area

For planners, venues and organisers
If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. Evenings in West Hoathly stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Send final numbers in good time
