How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. Because the roast starts early, and in December Mildmay is dark by about 3:55pm, 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.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after service.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.

- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
