We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. By late September, sunset in Dunsbury is around 7:10pm, and in December it is nearer 4:05pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.

- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day

Dunsbury questions
We’re gathering after a service at St. Mary's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you roast near the sea around Dunsbury?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
How much room do you need?
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 confirm the space with your quote.
For event organisers in Dunsbury
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team.

A hog roast or other catering?
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. That’s why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why book our hog roast in Dunsbury
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- An itemised quote
- A choice of salads and potatoes

Catered or do it yourself?
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.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- 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
