About the food
Crackling

Rotisserie chicken
For visitors who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children generally like it too.

What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.

Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. Late-September events in Frithend lose the light at about 7:05pm, so plan lighting if you’re trading into the evening.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Name a contact for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
Ask for a quote
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. Ours lists it clearly. For a quote, use our quote form.
Planning help
Planners, venues and businesses
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.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
What a hog roast costs
Things that change the price:
- Crockery choices
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Numbers
- The journey to the venue
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The address or postcode
- A photo of the cooking area
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
