Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Request gluten-free rolls
We serve hot rolls on cue, carved fresh.
Lights around the carving station add atmosphere.
Organising for someone else?
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Site access
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
- Crockery choices
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- The address or postcode
- Any venue rules
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Allergies we should know about
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A photo of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
