FAQs for Deane
What’s the nearest station to Deane?
Overton station, about 2 miles west of the centre.
Is Deane too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
When should we book our Christmas party?
As early as possible, especially for Fridays and Saturdays. Send your date early.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a restaurant Christmas party, a hog roast at your venue keeps everyone together and is often better value. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why book with us
- Our staff serve and clear
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Planned to your running order
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
Take a look at our prices page and the cost guide.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we’ll bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
For event organisers in Deane
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Full catering or machine hire?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so tell us about delays.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
