Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why book with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- An itemised quote

- Fresh carving at the serving station

How the day works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In Murrell Green, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
