Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

Questions to ask before booking
- How they handle allergens and dietary needs
- Exactly what’s included in the price
- When payments are due and what happens if plans change
- The menu, including sides and any extras
How it works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In Hollingrove, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We set up hours ahead.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.

What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Think about children’s portions
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so just let us know.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A word with the neighbours
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
