How it works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Late-September events in Little Bookham lose the light at about 7:05pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
Getting a price

What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
For event organisers in Little Bookham
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
