Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Keep the alternatives labelled
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We serve when people arrive, quietly and respectfully.
Ask about china.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

A hog roast or other catering?
If the hall or pub provides food, check whether we can cater there. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

How it works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Autumn and winter afternoons in Grahame Park get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- Share the date, place and rough numbers.
- We confirm availability and send a price.
- The roast cooks while the service is under way.
- Food is ready when people arrive.
- We clear away discreetly.
Before we arrive
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Could you cook in Sunny Hill Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.

Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.

Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.

We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Can you serve on plates?
We serve on plates, with china as an option.
Can you wait?
