The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. For a staff lunch in Clatterford, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- Start with the date, site and numbers.
- We check with facilities and quote.
- We roast on site.
- Service is fast once we carve.
- We clear up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day

Clatterford questions
Can you roast near the sea around Clatterford?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Is Clatterford 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.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you cater open days with families?
We do. Give us total numbers and we will cater for all.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your staff will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can you serve a fixed lunch break?
Yes. We time the roast to be ready and serve quickly. Rolls keep service quick.
Can you send documents for facilities?
Let us know your site’s requirements, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
