Whether it is parties at home and club events and presentations, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, salads and spit-roast lamb and more.
From a family garden to an office courtyard, bookings in Puddledock come in all shapes. Tell us how we get the equipment in, including steps, narrow gates and parking for our vehicle.

Evenings in Puddledock stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good 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.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

Why choose a hog roast in Puddledock?
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What you get with us
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
We will agree a contact for the day, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
For planners, venues and organisers
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
