DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A hog roast or other catering?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. Most hosts choose catering for anything bigger than a family party. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Planning the cooking spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
