- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

Step by step
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Around midsummer it stays light in Vale of Health until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, 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.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.

- Crockery choices

- The journey to the venue
- The number of people
