Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
We set up in the agreed spot, so the party carries on around us.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Neighbours warned about the smell
- Parking close to the house
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- An itemised quote
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there is a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
Apuldram questions
We are gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Apuldram close to London?
About 56 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
Yes, for confident cooks. Most people prefer us to cook so they can enjoy the party.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
We cover the cooking area, but plan somewhere dry for guests.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.

Step by step
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Evening parties in Apuldram need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it’s around 7:05pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- When it’s time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
