How long does a hog roast take to cook?

Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do children like hog roasts?

The roaster has its own cover; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so just let us know.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
Prices and what affects them

- Whether you want china

Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The date and time of the event
- Any venue rules
- Any dietary needs or allergies
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it is easy to compare like for like. Fill in our quote form.
