Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, 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.
Looking after everyone
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Think about children’s portions
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so just let us know.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.

Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A heads-up for next door
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
- Parking close to the house
As a London location, Southgate is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
