How the day works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. In Argos Hill, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so an early-evening carve is usually in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.
- Send us your party date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you’re ready.
- We clear up and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Name a contact for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Planning help
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then tidy up.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, quoted separately.
