Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Lathbury, 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.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
The roaster needs looking after for hours, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal.
