Is Alciston too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.

We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.

What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which works well for larger groups.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, served in a roll with salads.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
Afterwards we tidy up, and leave the site clean.
Tell us about branding or theming for open days and we will fit in.
Where the roaster can go in Alciston
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:

- Somewhere to park our vehicle
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
