Wrap parties suit a hog roast too. We serve new potatoes, a vegan option and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for farm and estate locations and period drama shoots.

Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away.

  2. We agree our position with locations.
  3. We cook at base.
  4. Service is quick.

Organising for someone else?

Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.

Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.

Allergies and dietary needs

Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:

  • Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
  • Label the alternatives clearly
  • Stuffing usually contains gluten
  • Count crew needing an alternative

We get to base first thing, roasting through the morning.

Wrap parties can run into the evening, tell us about lighting at base.

What a hog roast costs

A few things make the biggest difference to the price:

  • The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
  • The serving time and how long we’re on site
  • The journey to the venue
  • Access to the cooking area

Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

What we need to know

Here’s what we will ask:

  • Your menu choices
  • The date and when you’d like to eat
  • Rough numbers
  • A picture of the cooking area
