Do you come out to small places like Tye?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.

Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your visitors will want somewhere dry to eat.

Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
If you are organising for someone else, 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.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
