What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Sunset in East Hanney is about 9:00pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is normally in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 4:00pm, need lights by the roaster.

- We check the space and quote.
- We cook for hours on site.
- We serve when you’re ready.
- We clear up so you do not have to.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, no one gets stuck at the grill, and everyone eats together. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Our staff serve and clear

Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.

Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Generally, yes, so we can plan quantities.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Parking close to the house
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- A level patio, lawn or driveway

Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Organising for someone else?
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
