DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
How we price a hog roast for your party
There is no fixed price list, because every party is different. What matters most:
- Time on site
- The number of people
- Menu choices and extras
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.

You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food

Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. By late September, sunset in Coolham is about 7:05pm; by December it is about 3:55pm. Plan lights for the path and the food.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
