Step by step
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In winter, it’s dark in North Lee by 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.
- We confirm availability and send a price.
- We roast quietly while the service takes place.
- Food is ready when people arrive.
- We tidy up and leave without fuss.
How to prepare
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Why choose a hog roast in North Lee?
Next to a cold buffet, roast pork on a plate with potatoes is more filling. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why us?
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Fresh carving at the serving station

Can you roast in the rain?

Organising for someone else?
