About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
How our hog roast hire works in Ospringe
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it is served. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. Whether it’s sports clubs and societies and parties at home, we can cook coleslaw, new potatoes and halloumi skewers for your guests.
In a smaller place like Ospringe, a hog roast in the garden is frequently the simplest option: space to cook, no venue hire and no cooking for you. Tell us about access down the drive or side of the house. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
Where the roaster can go in Ospringe

- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

The process
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Around midsummer it stays light in Ospringe until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so summer evening service is typically in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Catered or do it yourself?
