- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.

Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
If timings shift, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
China crockery is available on request, at an extra cost.

Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
