Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A spot well away from the house
- Parking close to the house
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive

What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
