Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.

About the food
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Prices and what affects them

The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a buffet, hot carved pork on a plate is easier to manage for many residents. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What you get with us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

How it works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Late May in Felcourt has light until about 8:50pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.

- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.
Before we arrive
