Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a restaurant booking, you keep the party at home, with room for everyone. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Think about children’s portions
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
Warn the neighbours: the roast cooks for hours, and they may ask for a roll.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
How the day works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Evening parties in Burghfield Hill need a little planning: it’s light until about 9:25pm in June but only about 7:10pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We set up hours ahead.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
