Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates.

Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
We set up in the agreed spot, so the party carries on around us.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
