Step by step

Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. For an evening party in Chuck Hatch, think about light: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.

Choosing a hog roast caterer

Is a hog roast right for your party?

Compared with a buffet, a hog roast is hot and freshly carved, and nothing sits out all afternoon. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

Why book our hog roast in Chuck Hatch

  • A choice of salads and potatoes
  • Planned to your running order
  • Serving and clearing done for you
  • Cooked on the day, low and slow

Take a look at our prices page or our hog roast cost guide.

Working with your venue

Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.

If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.

Planning for dietary needs

Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:

  • Keep the vegetarian option labelled
  • Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
  • Request gluten-free rolls
  • Remember stuffing normally contains gluten

If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so just let us know.

A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.

DIY versus a catered hog roast

The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

  • Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
  • Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
  • Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
  • Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
