We’re frequently asked to cater weddings, day or evening and birthdays and anniversaries, serving coleslaw, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes.

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
We will agree a contact for the day, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A hog roast has one downside: it’s pork. That’s why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why us?
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- A clear quote with everything listed
- A choice of salads and potatoes

Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
