What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- How long the roast and service take
- Plates or china
- The journey to the venue
- Menu choices and extras
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- Any venue rules
- Allergies we should know about
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Where the event is
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Use our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, and the roast cooks through the morning.
A second meat gives the team a choice.
What the cooking area needs
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- A named contact for the day
- Access through the site gates
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Working with your venue
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
