Slow-roasted pork in Hurstbourne Tarrant
Full catering or machine hire?
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.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In Hurstbourne Tarrant, December daylight ends around 4:00pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Send us your Christmas party date, venue and numbers.
- We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- The team serves hot rolls at the agreed time.
- We clear away, even on a dark, wet evening.
Getting ready for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
