How it works

- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.

For event organisers in Chilton
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
A named contact in the home helps on the day.
Serving on plates is often easier.
Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Site access
- How long the roast and service take
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Your date and serving time
- What the outdoor space is like
- The venue or postcode
- Allergies we should know about
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Fill in our quote form.
