DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Menu choices and extras
- Distance from us
Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
Details that help
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- The address or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Allergies we should know about
- Rough numbers
When you’re weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. We spell it out in ours. For a quote, use our quote form.
Toothill: your questions answered
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Should we warn the neighbours?
Give them a heads-up.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a barbecue, you are not stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and the food is ready for everyone at once. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Crackling

- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Think about children’s portions
