DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Hire the machine or book catering? DIY hire works for relaxed get-togethers; catering suits bigger parties. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.

For planners, venues and organisers
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
Have a word with the neighbours first: roasting takes hours and the smell travels.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Somewhere for us to park nearby
- A wet-weather plan for guests
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
