A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a volunteer-run kitchen, a professional hog roast frees up your helpers. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why book with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Fresh carving at the serving station

How it works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. For an autumn event in Swinbrook, sunset is around 7:10pm in late September, so plan lighting if you are trading into the evening.
- Tell us about the event.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Getting ready for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
