DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Find out who does not eat pork for the alternatives
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Think about children’s portions
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so tell us if timings change.

How we price a hog roast for your party
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Whether you want china
- Menu choices and extras
- How long the roast and service take
- Distance from us
The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
