DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
What else we do in Iping
What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. For an evening party in Iping, think about light: it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you’re ready.
- We clear up and pack away.
How to prepare

Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then tidy up.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Hire the machine or book catering? DIY suits confident cooks and relaxed parties; catering suits bigger or more important parties. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Iping: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How far is Iping from London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: roasting takes hours. They may want a roll.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
