Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Somewhere for staff to eat if it rains
- Approval from facilities for gas equipment
- Someone to meet us at reception
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
What we serve
- Coleslaw
- Salads
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Rotisserie chicken
- Spit-roast lamb
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Crackling

Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it’s carved the same way.
Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In Speed Gate, summer evenings stay light until about 9:20pm, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. By late September, sunset is around 7:05pm.
- Start with the date, site and numbers.
- We sort access and send a quote.
- We roast on site.
- We carve and serve quickly.
- We clear up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
