A hog roast or other catering?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. Most hosts choose catering for anything bigger than a family party. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why us?
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Served at the time you choose
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
See our prices page or the cost guide.
How it works
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. By late September, sunset in Bishop's Green is around 7:10pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 4:00pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- 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.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Give us numbers for 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 arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
