What else we do in Guston
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
Let us know about changes: we can hold the roast for a short time.
Salads and coleslaw make it a fuller lunch.
Guston questions
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Do you come out to small places like Guston?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Can you feed staff and families?
Yes, a hog roast suits open days, with alternatives for everyone.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
What will our facilities team need?
Requirements vary: send us the checklist and we’ll reply.

Organising for someone else?

If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Travel to Guston
- Site access
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Details that help
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Roughly how many people
- Where the event is
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.
What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In Guston, summer evenings stay light until about 9:15pm, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. In late September, the light goes at about 7:00pm.

- Someone to meet us at reception
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
