The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving.

FAQs for Hulverstone
Do you come out to small places like Hulverstone?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.

Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.

Cooking is always outdoors; serving can be indoors.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
What affects the price in Hulverstone
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Access to the cooking area
- Season and day of the week
- Crockery choices
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

When you contact us, please mention:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Where the event is

DIY versus a catered hog roast

Organising for someone else?
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.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
Lighting at the serving table matters after dark, so tell us what’s already there.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal, quoted separately.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
