A Pig Roast is a great idea for a party, wedding, office event, or any other special occasion.

Throw A Party No One Will Forget

We offer the following options:

Delivery

DIY your pig roast! We can deliver the pig straight to your doorstep. We provide you with pig cutting instructions to make the process easy. 

Pick Up

Place your order and pick up your ready-to-serve pig from your favorite Rocklands location.

Full-Service Event

Want all the pizazz? Have our staff come out and serve a whole smoked pig at your next wedding, office, tailgate or other event. We can do this three ways

  1. Have us bring the pig fully cooked and serve it from a table. We’re happy to bring all the fixings or serve it alongside fixings you’ve made yourself.
  2. Have us bring the grill and finish it on the grill (pig arrives 95% cooked)
  3. Have us roast the pig from raw at your next event. (Beware this option takes TIME.) Cooking a pig from raw takes 6-12 hours depending on the size you need

Testimonials

See what the greater Washington D.C. area has to say about our pig roasts.

Magnificent Whole Pig Roast for our Wedding

Rocklands drove their pig out to our wedding on the farm to finish the whole pig over the fire for all our guests to see. The presentation on the linen covered table was beautiful, and the pork was fabulous at dinner. The staff was kind and gracious. We have nothing but good things to say. Rocklands helped make our wedding night special.

FAQs

How much does a whole roasted pig cost?

Price varies depending on the size of the pig and the current market rates. 

How many people does the average pig roast feed?

We recommend one pound of meat per person. This is a raw weight and includes the bones and inedible parts. Once cooked this will allow approximately 8 ounces of meat per person.

Is there a minimum?

Currently the smallest size pig we carry is 35 pounds.

How long does it take to roast a pig?

Anywhere from 6-12 hours.

Do sides come with the pig roast?

Sides do not come with the pig but we are happy to suggest some good options.

What are good sides to have with a pig roast?

Traditional sides are always best to pair with our whole pigs, such as - Baked Beans, Mac & Cheese, Coleslaw and Potato Salad.

Do you provide luau decorations?

We can! With enough notice we can provide decorations and if you have onsite staffing we can have them wear Hawaiian shirts. 

Will someone be on site to monitor the pig roast?

 If you choose to have us roast the pig from raw, we will have someone onsite for the entirety of the cooking process.  

What is the difference between a pig and hog roast?

Just terminology.

How much space do you need?

A pig can be served from a single 6’x30” table.

Where will you roast a pig?

We’ve had pig roasts in parks, private residences, farms, clubs, and stadiums (just to name a few) throughout the area. We will come to smoke a pig in Montgomery County, Fairfax County, Arlington County, Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax, Middleburg, Loudoun County). Typically we cook the pigs at our location and bring them fully cooked or almost ready to be finished on the grill at your location. 

What kind of pig roaster do you use?

In store we smoke our pigs in our wood only cabinet smokers using a mix of red oak and hickory wood. Onsite we use our custom made grills with hardwood lump charcoal.

What is the host responsible for?

Calling and booking their event more than 1 week out. Choosing an additional item they would like to go with the pig. And if you choose to have a drop off delivery you’ll need to have a sharp knife and be prepared to carve.
