About the food
Rotisserie chicken
For residents who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
What happens on the day
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Late May in Holland Park has light until about 8:55pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Preparing for the day
