Full catering or machine hire?
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.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Parking close to the house
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices

What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
