DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
A closer look at the menu
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
What a hog roast costs
Your quote depends on:
- The date and time of year

- How long the roast and service take
- Access to the cooking area
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

- Roughly how many people
- Your menu choices
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The venue or postcode

Looking after everyone
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Think about children’s portions
We set up in the agreed spot, so the party carries on around us.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Waterhall
Do you come out to small places like Waterhall?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Do children like hog roasts?
Generally, yes, so we can plan quantities.
How it works
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. By late September, sunset in Waterhall is about 7:05pm; by December it is about 3:55pm. Light the garden path and the serving area.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
