The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.

Full catering or machine hire?

DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with takeaway pizzas, the roast is an event in itself. 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, and the quote reflects that.
Why us?
- Timed around your day
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We get there early to start the roast, so it’s cooking when guests arrive.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.

Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
