Working with your venue
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
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.

These are the details we need:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Allergies we should know about
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Anything the venue has asked for
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: use our quote form.
The process
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. A summer party in Broad Street stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We set up hours ahead.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Find out who does not eat pork for the alternatives
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply

At food time, we carve and serve, then tidy up.
