DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, at extra cost.
Common questions in Earnley
Can you cater after a service at Earnley Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Earnley close to London?
About 60 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Is our garden suitable?
Frequently, yes, if there is a level spot away from the house and trees, given access for the equipment. A photo helps.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Is clearing up included?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what affects the price:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Numbers
- Distance from us
- Season and day of the week
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Roughly how many people
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- A photo of the cooking area
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we will check it: fill in our quote form.
What happens on the day
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Evening parties in Earnley need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it’s around 7:05pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We set up hours ahead.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact for the day
