A hog roast is one of the few catering units that is also a spectacle. A whole pig, or a joint of pork on a roast pork unit, is cooked slowly and carved to order, and people gather to watch it as much as to eat it. Hog roast, roast pork unit, mobile hog roast and carvery all describe the same style of catering.

What the menu can include

The classic serving is roast pork in a roll with crackling, apple sauce and stuffing, with the exact accompaniments depending on the menu. Some units offer a vegetarian alternative alongside, and some run a wider carvery-style menu. Options vary by unit, and the exact menu can be confirmed as part of your proposal.

Planning your hire

A hog roast is cooked over several hours, so the unit arrives early and the roast is a fixed quantity: when the pig is finished, it is finished. Expected numbers are the first thing to talk about. What the unit needs from the site depends on the individual unit and is confirmed with your proposal. It suits a wedding, a country show or a corporate summer party where the roast is the centrepiece of the food.
