If you’re a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
The process
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. At midsummer, events in Childrey stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Send final numbers in good time

A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
