We can carve thinly and serve on plates with potatoes and apple sauce.
Can you fit around mealtimes?

- How long the roast and service take
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook. Late-September sunset in Enborne Row is about 7:10pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
