Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
You will not need to worry about the food on the day. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, then clear up.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.

Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. In Badgers Mount, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is generally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We check the space and quote.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Before we arrive
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Give us a contact number for the day
