DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

West Cliffe: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Peter?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you roast near the sea around West Cliffe?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, with chicken as an alternative.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
How we price a hog roast for your party
Here’s what affects the price:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Travel to West Cliffe
- Plates or china
- The date and time of year
The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
