Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.

Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Planners, venues and businesses
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll, just as they should.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.

East Ham questions
What if our house in East Ham has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Can you cater after a service at St Bartholomew's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Describe the space and we will tell you honestly.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
You choose the date, the menu and the serving time; we do the rest. Just give us an outdoor spot to cook.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Will people get crackling?
It is: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
Slow roasting needs attention, and that’s what we are there for. You can relax and enjoy the day.
