A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
Let us know if the day runs late: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.

How the day works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Around midsummer it stays light in Passfield until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is typically in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
