Is a hog roast right for your party?
Next to a barbecue, you’re not stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and the food is ready for everyone at once. The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why book with us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Timed around your day
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
See our prices page or the cost guide.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. Sunset in Denton is about 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is generally in daylight. After about 3:50pm in December, we need light to carve.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

Planning help
What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- The date and time of year
- Crockery choices
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Distance from us
Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.
Getting an accurate quote
To get the best quote, send us:
- Roughly how many people
- Your date and serving time
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Allergies we should know about
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the party is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What comes off the roaster
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, so the party carries on around us.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
Denton questions
Is Denton too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary Magdalene?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
Will you clear up afterwards?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Do children like hog roasts?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, with chicken as an alternative.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
