DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Old Heathfield
Can you cater after a service at The Parish Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How far is Old Heathfield from London?
About 40 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
Yes, for confident cooks. Catering is the easier option.
Is our garden suitable?
Most gardens can work, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a picture.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Think about children’s portions
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
We get there early to start the roast, so it is cooking when guests arrive.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
