A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
How the day works
When we arrive, 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 Little Venice goes at about 7:05pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We clear away quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
Give us a contact, such as the activities lead.
