What happens on the day
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Late September evenings in Mount Pleasant lose the light at about 7:10pm, and in December it is nearer 4:05pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.

Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so all you need is the space.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.

What we serve, dish by dish

Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.

What a hog roast costs
Things that change the price:
- The date and time of year
