Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
A hog roast or other catering?
A common mix is a plated meal followed by an evening hog roast; others make the hog roast the main meal. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

Is Donkey Town too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
Evening food usually goes out an hour or two after the first dance, timed with you in advance.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
Before you choose a spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- Power for lights in the evening
