How the day 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. For a summer wake in Faberstown, there is light until about 9:25pm, so people can spill into the garden.

Faberstown: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Faberstown?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter in the Wood: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Can you roast in the rain?
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.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Keep the alternatives labelled
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Rotisserie chicken is a good alternative for those who don’t eat pork.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
