Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. In Setley, December daylight ends around 4:00pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- 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

Planners, venues and businesses
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.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
A closer look at the menu
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some residents will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
