Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, then clear up.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
What we serve, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.

Questions from Dial Post
Do you come out to small places like Dial Post?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Dial Post from London?
About 39 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Is our garden big enough?
Frequently, yes, if there is a level, open spot away from the house and trees, as long as we can get the equipment in. Send us a picture.
Will people get crackling?
Of course: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. In Dial Post, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally 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 look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We clear up and go.
Before we arrive
