Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a buffet, hot carved pork feels more special. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Rock: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Rock?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
We’re gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then clear up the serving area.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
How we price a hog roast for your party
Things that change the price:
- Plates or china
- The journey to the venue
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

For event organisers in Rock
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. A summer party in Rock stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.

Before we arrive

How to get a price
