DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a barbecue, you’re not stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and the food is ready for everyone at once. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
What you get with us
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Planned to your running order
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

For planners, venues and organisers
If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
