Our staff keep the serving table tidy through service, so it looks as good at the end as at the start.
Add sides for a proper meal.
What happens on the day
Your serving time sets our timings: a hog roast needs us there hours ahead, a barbecue a little less. Either way, it is ready on time. In Farnham, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. By late December, sunset is about 3:55pm.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- You get a menu suggestion and a price.
- We agree where we will cook.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear up and leave the spot tidy.

The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Is our catering right for your event?
Next to a cold buffet, our food comes hot, straight from the roaster or grill. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
What you get with us
- An itemised quote
- Two menus to choose from
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
