We plan the roast around your break. Rolls are the fastest way to serve.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. For a staff lunch in Kingsmead, daylight is not 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 sort access and send a quote.
- We roast on site.
- We carve and serve quickly.
- We leave the site clean.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Think about shelter for your staff

Planning help
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
At the agreed time, our chef carves and our staff serve, so people get back to work on time.
Add rotisserie chicken or lamb for choice.
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
