How the day works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. By late September, the light in Hook Norton goes at about 7:10pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.

Why us?
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- All the equipment comes with us
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Organising for someone else?
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
