About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
What happens on the day
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Chiddingly, it stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

Should I cook it myself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Working with your venue
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Allergies and dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast, priced in the quote.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
