Full catering or machine hire?
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.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
How we price a hog roast
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Distance from us
- Numbers
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Roughly how many people
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Use our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, then clear up.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
UB4 questions
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do you come to UB4?
Yes, UB4 is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
