Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A common mix is a plated meal followed by an evening hog roast; others have the hog roast as the main event. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why book with us
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Timed around your day
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- No surprises: everything in writing
Read our pricing or our hog roast cost guide.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.

Wouldham: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Holborough Marshes?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
How far is Wouldham from London?
About 26 miles from central London.
Can we offer lamb too?
Of course: lamb and pork together give guests a choice.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.

Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
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. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
How the day works
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Golden-hour photos in Wouldham at midsummer come around 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September.
