What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the event is
- Dietary requirements
- Which meats and sides you’d like
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the party is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.
Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Sunset in Bakers Arms is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:50pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Send us your party date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear up and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

Full catering or machine hire?

Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

FAQs for Bakers Arms
What if our house in Bakers Arms has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Can you cater after a service at St Stephen's?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
We cover the cooking area, but plan somewhere dry for guests.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
Give them a heads-up.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
