What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
Working with your venue
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
