What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.

The closest is Sandwich station, roughly 2.7 miles away.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Is mains power needed?

Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your visitors will want somewhere dry to eat.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.

How it works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. In December, Hammill Park is dark by about 3:50pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
