Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
- Room for a queue that doesn’t block paths
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.

- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.

What you get with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Served at the time you choose
- Our staff serve and clear
