How the day works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. After-work summer events in Otterbourne have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer and 8:55pm in late May, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. In late September, the light goes at about 7:10pm.
- Tell us where, when, how many and the serving time.
- We check site access and send a price.
- We arrive in good time and start the roast under cover.
- We serve quickly within your break.
- Afterwards we clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Send final numbers in good time

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
Give us a contact on site for the day, so we can find you quickly.
Salads and coleslaw make it a fuller lunch.
About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing generally contains gluten.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, especially for staff who do not eat pork.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what affects the price:
- Whether you want china
- Distance from us
- How many people are eating
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

Catered or do it yourself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
