Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
The process
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. By about 3:55pm in late December, Broyle Side is dark. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station.
- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
- The team serves hot rolls at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Give us a contact number for the day

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
