Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
- Firm ground rather than soft lawn
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If you are 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.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.

Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.

Can you serve inside our office or hall?
We cook outside, but can normally serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you leave the area tidy?

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
