The process
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your staff, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. For a staff lunch in East Langdon, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
- Tell us where, when, how many and the serving time.
- We check site access and send a price.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- The team carves and serves on time.
- We pack away and leave the site as we found it.
Before we arrive

Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
