A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with cooking for everyone yourself, you get to enjoy the party. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Space, access and the venue
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
- Somewhere for us to park nearby
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
What we serve

- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Rotisserie chicken

Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Request gluten-free rolls
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then tidy up.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. Sunset in Chineham is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 4:00pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
