Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Instead of booking a restaurant, a hog roast at home lets everyone relax in the garden. Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
What you get with us
- Served at the time you choose
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests

Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. A summer party in Burcot stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We set up hours ahead.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We clear the serving area and go.
How to prepare
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
