Your questions about a hog roast day in Bockmer End
Do you come out to small places like Bockmer End?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.

About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Late May in Bockmer End has light until about 8:55pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
