What happens on the day
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In December, daylight in East Street ends around 3:50pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:15pm.
- 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 serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
How to prepare

Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which suits bigger events.
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
At the end of a shoot, it is a relaxed way to finish. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Planned to your running order
