A hog roast or other catering?
Next to street-food vans, carving serves the whole team fast. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, and handy for anyone who doesn’t eat pork.
How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. If your staff event in Ovington runs into the evening, check the light: sunset ranges from about 9:25pm in June to 4:00pm in December.

How to get a price
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we will check it: fill in our quote form.
Planning help
Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
At the agreed time, our chef carves and our staff serve, so people get back to work on time.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch.
