What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We pack up whatever the weather.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
