How the day works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. A lunchtime Christmas party in Donnybrook Quarter is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast copes much better with the cold. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Timed around your day
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
See our pricing or the cost guide.
Organising for someone else?
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
