What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. A lunchtime Christmas party in Heath End is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
- Book early for December.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We arrive while it’s light and set up under cover.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We clear the serving area and go.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Give us a contact number for the day

Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:

- A short route for our equipment
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

About the food
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans

We serve hot rolls on cue, carved fresh.
