Step by step
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. In Charney Bassett, late May sunsets come at about 9:00pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so an early-evening carve is normally in daylight. After about 4:00pm in December, we need light to carve.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- 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 clear the serving area and go.
How to prepare
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Think about shelter for your guests

Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
