A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll.
How we price a hog roast day
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- The date and time of year
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Distance from us
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- An estimate of numbers
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- A photo of the cooking area
- Rules from the venue or landowner

How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. For a summer hog roast day in Aldersbrook, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden events easy. In winter, dark by about 3:50pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
How to prepare
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
