Allergies and dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:

The process
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. A lunchtime Christmas party in Orchard Leigh is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.
- The team serves hot rolls at the agreed time.
- We tidy up and go, whatever the weather.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Send final numbers in good time

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
