How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Daytime open days in Catslip are rarely affected by light, but in December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so late events need lighting.

- We confirm the site details and send a price.
- We set up early and roast through the morning.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve on time.
- We tidy up and leave.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
