Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
The process
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. For an evening party in Barford St John, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:30pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:10pm. Lights by the food keep the party going.

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Request gluten-free rolls
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then tidy up.
