Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

Waldershare questions
Do you come out to small places like Waldershare?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Can you cater for vegans on set?
Add alternatives to suit your crew.
What about locations off the beaten track?
We can, given access details. Tell us about tracks and ground.
Do we need our own staff?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can you work around our timings?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Label the alternatives clearly
We follow location rules on vehicles and timings.
For an evening wrap, tell us about lighting at base.
What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which suits bigger events.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Late-September shoots near Waldershare lose the light at about 7:00pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Share the location details.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We roast under cover at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We leave base tidy.
Before we arrive
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
