- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option

How the day works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Light matters for a long roast: in Howe Hill, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.

Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Catered or DIY? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. For bigger events, catering is normally the easier choice. Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.
