Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.

Do you come out to small places like Charlton?

We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.

Planners, venues and businesses
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
We get there early to start the roast, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- A word with the neighbours
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
