About the food
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, one roast serves everyone together. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why book with us
- An itemised quote
- All the equipment comes with us
- Carved by our chef in front of your crew
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
Take a look at our pricing and the cost guide.
How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Late-September shoots near Bashley lose the light at about 7:10pm, so plan lights for evening service.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We pack away straight after.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
