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.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Space, access and the venue
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

- Vegan option (Ve)

Is Murcott too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Will guests be full?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
A hog roast or other catering?
