About the food

Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a buffet, a hog roast is hot and freshly carved, and nothing sits out all afternoon. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why book with us
- All the equipment comes with us
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Fresh carving at the serving station
Read our pricing and the cost guide.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Think about children’s portions
- Request gluten-free rolls
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, so the party carries on around us.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
