If you had Raleigh Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we can’t simply set up a roaster in a public park.
Before booking anyone
- Who carves and who serves
- Whether plates or china are included
- When they arrive and when the food will be ready
- What the cooking area needs: space, cover and access
Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Sunset in Boars Hill is about 9:00pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is normally in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.

Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
