Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Hire the machine or book catering? DIY hire works for relaxed get-togethers; catering suits bigger parties. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then tidy up.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.

Grand settings like these frequently have strict rules on caterers, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler.
