Step by step
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In December, St Helens is dark by about 4:00pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Remember stuffing usually contains gluten
- Balance the food line-up
- Halal isn’t offered
We clear the pitch and take everything away.
Chicken widens the choice.
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
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.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.

No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.

Yes, if the school agrees. Send us the details.
Is electricity needed?
Cooking is gas-fired. Power helps for lighting.
