The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Lunchtime bookings in Hardwick are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. Summer events have daylight until around 9:30pm.
- Tell us where, when, how many and when you eat.

- We serve within your break.
- We pack away and go.
Preparing for the day

What comes off the roaster

Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, for the alternatives
We set up on the agreed spot, often first thing, and the roast cooks through the morning.
China crockery is available for client events.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The date and time of year
- Whether you want china
- The number of people
- Menu choices and extras
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.

When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Any venue rules
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The address or postcode
- Which meats and sides you’d like
