DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.

Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.

Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Parking close to the house
- A wet-weather plan for guests
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Step by step
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. A summer party in Milton Heights stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We leave the garden tidy.

What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
Have a word with the neighbours first: the roast cooks for hours.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
