Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
How we price a hog roast for your party
Your quote depends on:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Crockery choices
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How long the roast and service take
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
