DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
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.
What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- The journey to the venue

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a party buffet, hot carved pork feels more special, and nothing sits out all afternoon. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A wet-weather plan for guests
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A step-free way into the garden
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Popular choices
- Salads
- Coleslaw
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Jacket potatoes
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Hog roast rolls
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Crackling
- Rotisserie chicken
The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Evening parties in Little Ann need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it’s around 7:10pm. Lights by the food keep the party going.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
Getting a price
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Use our quote form.

- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Find out who does not eat pork for the alternatives
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can bring everything through.

- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
