What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
How our hog roast hire works in Bachelor's Bump
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, over several hours, outdoors under cover. When it’s ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. We are frequently asked to cater clubhouse events and christmas fairs, serving spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and coleslaw.
In a rural place like Bachelor's Bump, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Let us know about access and ground conditions. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
You will not need to worry about the food on the day. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, then clear up.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast, priced in the quote.
What the cooking area needs

- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Access for our equipment, without steps
- Parking near the spot
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Step by step

Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Bachelor's Bump, sunset is around 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
