What comes off the roaster

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.

Crackling

Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.

How the day works

The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook. In Burghfield Common, December daylight ends around 4:00pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.

  1. You tell us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
  2. We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
  3. We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.
  4. Our chef carves and our staff serve hot food at the agreed time.
  5. We clear away, even on a dark, wet evening.

Preparing for the day

  • Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
  • Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
  • Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

DIY versus a catered hog roast

A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

  • Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
  • Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
  • Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
  • Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
