Other occasions in Deane
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- The date and time of year
- How long the roast and service take
- Crockery choices
- Menu choices and extras
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
These are the details we need:
- Your menu choices
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many people
Send us the date, the address or RG25 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We will check the date and send a quote. Use our quote form.
How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Deane, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
