The process
Here’s how the day generally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December Anmore is dark by about 4:00pm, so we may set up under lights.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after service.
How to prepare
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

What affects the price in Anmore
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The journey to the venue
- Crockery choices
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Site access
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
