How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Ansteadbrook, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
