Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
How the day works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Lunchtime bookings in Priestwood are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- Start with the date, site and numbers.
- We check with facilities and quote.
- We roast on site.
- We carve and serve quickly.
- We leave the site clean.
How to prepare
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
How to get a price
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or DA13 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.

- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance

Afterwards we tidy up, and leave the site clean.
