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 you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Organising for someone else?
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.

Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
Warn the neighbours: roasting takes hours and the smell travels, and they may ask for a roll.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
