Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If the venue has its own caterer, ask whether outside caterers are allowed. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why us?
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to

Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Late-December sunset in Bough Beech is about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- You tell us the date, the venue, rough numbers and when people will arrive.
- You get a quick answer on the date, and a quote.
- The roast cooks while the service is under way.
- We serve when everyone arrives, calmly and without fuss.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
How to prepare
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
