If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

- How dietary needs are handled
How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In late May, sunset in Aldingbourne is about 8:50pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- The home tells us the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We clear away quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
