Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power. Autumn parties in Tangmere get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 4:00pm by December. Light the garden path and the serving area.

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How many people are eating
- Season and day of the week
- How long the roast and service take
- Travel to Tangmere
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
