- Put the allergen list where people can see it

Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with sandwich platters, hot carved pork feels much more special. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

- We bring everything to cook and serve

The process
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your staff, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Daytime open days in Shatterling are rarely affected by light, though in winter it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so late events need lighting.
- Tell us where, when, how many and when you eat.
- We check access and gas rules and quote.
- We set up early and roast through the morning.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve on time.
- We pack away and go.
Before we arrive
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
