DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
About the food
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it’s carved the same way.

Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
Our staff serve and clear quietly, and leave you to celebrate.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
Organising for someone else?
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. For a summer wedding in Botolphs, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.

What about guests who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Yes, spit-roast lamb can go alongside the pork.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
