A hog roast near Stanford Common
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

Questions from Stanford Common
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Michael and All Angels: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.

No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.

Is crockery included?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?

The process
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. For a summer wedding in Stanford Common, 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. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and which meal you’d like.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
- Our staff clear the serving area and we leave quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
