No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.

Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.

It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
