Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a barbecue, you’re not stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and the food is ready for everyone at once. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why Sandy Cross hosts choose us
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Timed around your day

The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- Numbers
- The journey to the venue
- Plates or china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

The process
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. A summer party in Sandy Cross stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you’re ready.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Let us know about tight access

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
We get there early to start the roast, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
