Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We set up in the agreed spot, so the party carries on around us.

What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Planning the cooking spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- Parking close to the house
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
Popular choices
- Salads
- Coleslaw
- Jacket potatoes
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
