DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Next to doing it all yourself, you get to enjoy the party. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why us?
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork

How it works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Sunset in Upper Froyle is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is usually in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 4:00pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We set up hours ahead.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:

- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
Have a word with the neighbours first: roasting takes hours and the smell travels, and they may ask for a roll.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
