How the food is paid for depends on the event: a package or a pay-as-you-go stall. Let us know what you have in mind. We’re frequently asked to cater PTA summer fairs and tournaments and sports days, with halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and a vegan burger or sausage.

We work out each quote from:
- The journey to the venue
- Time on site

- The number of people
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Planning the cooking spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
- A level pitch
- Space for people to queue

Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
