A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a party buffet, a hog roast is hot and freshly carved. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What you get with us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Choices for people who do not eat pork

A green space like Keir Hardie Park is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, generally the council’s. Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as Memorial Community Church, with a hog roast at home or in a hall afterwards.

Working with your venue
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
About the food
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
