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 you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. By late September, sunset in Joyden's Wood is about 7:05pm; by December it’s about 3:50pm. Light the garden path and the serving area.

Getting ready for the day

Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
We set up in the agreed spot, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
