Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Distance from us
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The date and time of year
- How long the roast and service take
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:

- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Request gluten-free rolls

Step by step
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. In December, it is dark in Hillesden by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot when you are ready.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Organising for someone else?

Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

Do guests have to eat outside?
Cooking is always outdoors; serving can be indoors.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.

We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.

The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there is a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.
Planning the cooking spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
- Light by the serving table
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Catered or do it yourself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
