Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
We pack up whatever the weather.
China crockery is available on request.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a restaurant Christmas party, you avoid set-menu prices and keep everyone in one place. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why book with us
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Planned to your running order
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests

Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we will check it: use our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
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.
A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
