Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- Menu choices and extras
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The date and time of year

College Town questions
Could you cook in Sandhurst Memorial Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
We are gathering after a service at Royal Memorial Chapel: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Should we warn the neighbours?
Give them a heads-up.
Do you come to College Town?
We do. Send us the address and we will check the date.
The process
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. In College Town, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- 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
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Name a contact for the day
- Let us know about tight access

Comparing caterers
- Whether VAT is included
- What the cooking area needs: space, cover and access
- Staffing on the day
- How they handle allergens and dietary needs
Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a party buffet, a hog roast is hot and freshly carved, and nothing sits out all afternoon. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why book our hog roast in College Town
- Served at the time you choose
- An itemised quote
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
See our prices page and our hog roast cost guide.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Think about children’s portions
- Add a dietary question to the invite
Ensure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, quoted separately.

Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
