What happens on the day

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
We arrive in good time and roast quietly, out of the way of arriving guests.
China crockery is available on request.
Questions from Curbridge
Do you come out to small places like Curbridge?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St John the Baptist?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do you serve rolls or plates?
We serve on plates, with china as an option.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
Do you come to Curbridge?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Curbridge and Oxfordshire. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
A hog roast or other catering?

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
