Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We set up while it’s still light, and cook into the evening.
China crockery is available on request.
About our Christmas hog roast in Inkpen
Fridays in December go first, so ask early. For winter fairs and markets and boxing Day and New Year gatherings, we can cook roast turkey, crackling and apple sauce for your guests.
For a Christmas party near Inkpen, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.

How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn.

- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.

- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
