Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Think about children’s portions
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
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.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, you’re not stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and everyone eats together. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why us?
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Timed around your day
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
See our pricing or our hog roast cost guide.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- A spot well away from the house
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- A wet-weather plan for guests
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
