Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.

The menu, dish by dish

Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.

Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
We set up in the agreed spot, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.

The process

Sunset in Sulhamstead Abbots is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is typically in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 4:00pm, need lights by the roaster.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- You get a check on the date and the cooking spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
