The process
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change.

Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.

- We check access and gas rules and quote.
- The roast starts early on site.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve on time.

- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
- Somewhere for staff to eat if it rains
- Somewhere to park our vehicle

Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Find out how many do not eat pork, for the alternatives
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
If the schedule moves, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
Tell us about branding or theming for open days and we’ll fit in.
