Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. By late September, sunset in Mortimer West End is around 7:10pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 4:00pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Think about shelter for your guests

What to tell us
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Any venue rules
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The address or postcode
- Your menu choices
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Fill in our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.

Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
