What else we do in Swiss Cottage
DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, especially for staff who do not eat pork.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
What affects the price in Swiss Cottage
Your quote depends on:
- The journey to the venue
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How long the roast and service take

- Rough numbers

How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. If your staff event in Swiss Cottage runs into the evening, check the light: sunset ranges from about 9:20pm in June to 3:55pm in December.
- Start with the date, site and numbers.
- We check with facilities and quote.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We carve and serve quickly.
- We clear up afterwards.
