Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Count families and staff too
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We can serve inside or out, as you prefer.
Serving on plates is often easier.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The journey to the venue
- How long the roast and service take
- Menu choices and extras
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The address or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
If you are comparing hog roast caterers for Lynsore Bottom, ask each one exactly what’s included. Ours lists it clearly. To get yours, use our quote form.
For event organisers in Lynsore Bottom
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In summer, Lynsore Bottom has daylight until about 9:15pm, which makes garden events easy. In winter, dark by about 3:50pm, a lunchtime event is better.
