HOG ROAST

Hog roast catering in Sheffield

Hog roasts across Sheffield and South Yorkshire, cooked on site and carved in front of your guests. From £795 for up to fifty, priced by guest numbers.

The pig goes on early and roasts for hours where your guests can see it. The crackling comes off in sheets and it is carved to order across a full hour. Worth booking further ahead than a delivered buffet.

How a Sheffield hog roast works

We arrive an hour before service and set up where you tell us. The roast has been going since long before that. Service runs an hour, we tell you before it ends so people can go back, and the leftovers are yours.

Worth agreeing the access before the day, so nobody meets a bollard, a gate or a flight of steps on arrival. Send a photo of where you want the machine and we will tell you straight away whether it works.

Where we set up in Sheffield

Cricket and football clubs, business parks around Meadowhall and the Airport Business Park, farm venues out towards the Peak District, and marquees in the bigger gardens west of the city.

Rotherham sits on the same run and there is no extra charge for it. For anything in the city centre, check with the venue first that an open flame is permitted: a good number of managed sites do not allow one, and it is the question that most often stops a booking.

WHERE WE DELIVER

Sheffield and around it

We deliver across Sheffield City Centre, Ecclesall, Hillsborough, Crookes, Fulwood, Dore, Totley, Nether Edge, Walkley and Rotherham, everywhere between them, and a good way beyond. If you are not sure whether we reach you, ring the office and ask. The answer is usually yes.

Venues we cater at in Sheffield

  • Cutlers’ HallGrade II listed, dinners and conferences up to 500
  • Ponds Forge International Sports CentreCity-centre events and function space
  • Sheffield ArenaArena and function space at Attercliffe

Not an exhaustive list, if the venue you have in mind is not named here, it is almost certainly still one we cover.

Why Sheffield chooses us

  • Priced per event, not per head

    £795 covers up to fifty guests. At 151 to 200 it is £1,450, about £7.25 a head. The bigger the party, the better it works out.

  • Carved across a full hour

    Guests come over, take a plate and come back for more, which is what stops a large party turning into one long queue.

  • Level ground is the thing to check

    Sheffield gardens are rarely flat. We need about three metres by five that is genuinely level. Send a photo and we will tell you.

  • Apple sauce, stuffing and fresh rolls

    With pulled BBQ jackfruit cobs as the standard vegan option, and gluten-free, dairy-free and halal portions prepared separately.

What Sheffield customers say

4.9 out of 5 from 210+ Google reviews

  • Thank you Sadlergates Catering for providing excellent BBQ food for our wedding. We really enjoyed the food, and so did our guests. Thanks to all the whole team who were involved - both with the helpful discussions in advance and great service on the day.

    Fiona · Wedding BBQ

  • Sadlergates did a ‘in the middle’ buffet for our wedding - and they were great :) We really appreciated their customer service in the lead up to the wedding - and as others have said, nothing was too much trouble when it came to accommodating requests. On the day, the food was lovely with generous portions - enjoyed by all our guests!

    Ruth · Wedding, In The Middle buffet

  • Thank you for catering at our office garden party. Everyone was very happy with the food and the service - it was fantastic! I will definitely recommend you guys to friends and fellow businesses. We had a great time and a proper feast, thank you!

We have catered Sheffield since 2012. If you have a date in mind, the earlier we know it the more likely it is still free.

Hog roast catering in Sheffield, your questions answered

How much is a hog roast in Sheffield?

From £795 for up to fifty guests on Bronze: the hog, crackling, stuffing, rolls and sauces. Silver £940, Gold £1,050 at the same numbers. It is priced for the whole event, so 150 to 200 on Bronze is £1,450, roughly £7.25 a head. No travel charge to Sheffield or Rotherham.

Do you cover Rotherham and the surrounding area?

Yes, and free. Rotherham sits on the same round as the eastern side of Sheffield. The Peak District villages west of the city are workable too. Tell us the postcode and we will confirm.

Is there a minimum number?

Fifty guests, or the equivalent booking value, and in Sheffield we hold to it more firmly than elsewhere simply because of the distance. The chef and the machine are on the road a good while before anybody eats. Under fifty, a delivered buffet from £5.50 a head is the better answer.

What space do you need?

Three metres by five of LEVEL ground, and in Sheffield that is the sentence that matters. A great many gardens here run downhill, and a sloped setup is the single most common reason we have to move a hog roast on arrival. Send a photograph if you are unsure and we will tell you.

What deposit do you take?

25% on booking and the balance thirty days before. Summer Saturdays go first, so the earlier the deposit lands the more likely your first choice of date is still open.

What happens if it rains?

We cook under a gazebo regardless. What decides a wet Sheffield booking is whether there is anywhere out of the wind for people to eat: exposed gardens on the west side of the city are genuinely different from a sheltered one in Nether Edge, and it is worth being honest with yourself about which you have.
