What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a plated turkey lunch, a hog roast is more relaxed. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Step by step
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In December, it’s dark in Bitchet Green by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
