How it works
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In Plummers Plain, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Name a contact for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- The journey to the venue
- The date and time of year
- Crockery choices
- Access to the cooking area
