About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
We will be with you for a good part of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast.
Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
A hog roast compared with other options
A hog roast has one downside: it is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too for anyone who doesn’t eat it. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why us?
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- An itemised quote
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

How we price a hog roast
Your quote depends on:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Crockery choices
- Access to the cooking area
- The date and time of year
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Getting an accurate quote
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Your date and serving time
- Your menu choices
- Anything the venue has asked for
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we will check it: use our quote form.
