Step by step

Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. In Owlsmoor, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.

  1. We start with a few details about your event.
  2. You get an availability check and a clear quote.
  3. We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
  4. We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
  5. We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.

Before we arrive

  • Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
  • Choose someone to meet us on arrival
  • Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Working with your venue

For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.

Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.

Should I cook it myself?

The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

Allergies and dietary needs

Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:

  • Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
  • Ask about allergies when you send invitations
  • Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
  • Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information

We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, since slow roasting starts early.

Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
