Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. At midsummer, events in Steep stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Before we arrive
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
