Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Space away from the building and any trees
- Flat ground outside the hall or house
- A contact for the day who is not immediate family
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a cold buffet, a warm plated meal is more comforting. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why us?
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Our staff serve and clear
- Served at the time you choose

What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan guests can have a vegan burger or sausage, so nobody misses out.

Organising for someone else?
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
