Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

- Our staff serve and clear
- A choice of salads and potatoes

- Carved by our chef in front of your crew

For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Late-September shoots near Speedwell lose the light at about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check the route and send a price.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

A closer look at the menu
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Post allergen details at base
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Tell us who does not eat pork
Name a contact for the day, generally locations or the production office.
Sides make a proper lunch.
