About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a volunteer-run kitchen, we take the cooking off your volunteers. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why North Waltham hosts choose us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Carved by our chef in front of your visitors

DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
For planners, venues and organisers
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- Plates or china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How long the roast and service take
- Distance from us
The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Allergies we should know about
- Any venue rules
- Roughly how many people
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Late-September events in North Waltham lose the light at about 7:10pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We serve to order through the event.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Give us a contact number for the day
