Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.

No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.

Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Can you cater in Whiteleaf?

What happens in bad weather?
