Near Bar End, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
Ensure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
FAQs for Bar End
Could you cook in St. Cross Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
We’re gathering after a service at All Saints: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Can we cook it ourselves?
Yes, DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you bring a gazebo?
We bring cover for the roaster; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
For planners, venues and organisers
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

The process
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Evening parties in Bar End need a little planning: it is light until about 9:25pm in June but only about 7:10pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We set up hours ahead.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Before we arrive
