For a christening or gathering after a service at a church such as Church of St Mary, the roaster can be set up at a hall or home nearby. For a fundraiser at a school like Thornborough Infant School, the roaster can cook on a pitch agreed with the school.

Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Step by step
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Thornborough, sunset is around 9:00pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the space and quote.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Name a contact for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
