Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Have a word with the neighbours first: roasting takes hours and the smell travels.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.

How the day works
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Sunset in East Shefford is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 4:00pm in December, we need light to carve.

Planning help
East Shefford: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at St Thomas' Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you come out to small places like East Shefford?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do children like hog roasts?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, with chicken as an alternative.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you cover East Shefford?
Yes, East Shefford is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
Do you bring a gazebo?
We cover the cooking area, but plan somewhere dry for guests.

- Distance from us
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Whether you want china
- Numbers
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- The venue or postcode
- A photo of the cooking area
- Rough numbers
- Any venue rules
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your party: send us your details through our quote form.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
