DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
For planners, venues and organisers
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Why choose a hog roast in Bodiam?
Hire the machine or book catering? DIY hire works for relaxed get-togethers; catering suits bigger or more important parties. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.

- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Getting ready for the day

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.

We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.

Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Will you clear up afterwards?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
How much room do you need?

What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, at extra cost.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
