DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

Questions from Bashley
Is Bashley too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you roast near the sea around Bashley?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Where does the hog roast go?
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 photo if you are unsure.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
It’s one of our most popular wedding bookings. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
