For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
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.
A hog roast compared with other options

How it works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. A lunchtime Christmas party in Fairlands is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the venue and send a price.
- We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve hot food at the agreed time.
- We tidy up and go, whatever the weather.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
