Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.

For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Catered or do it 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.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
What we serve, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which suits bigger events.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Why choose a hog roast in Riddlesdown?
If it’s for clients, choose china, sides and lamb or chicken to make it more formal. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
