What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
How we price a hog roast for your party
The price comes down to:
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Which meats and sides you choose
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- Where the event is
- Roughly how many people
- Any venue rules
- A picture of the cooking area
It is easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
Planning the cooking spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
From the roaster
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Coleslaw

Organising for someone else?
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Places near Flimwell
What else we do in Flimwell
Flimwell: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Flimwell?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We’re gathering after a service at St Augustine's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you bring a gazebo?
We bring cover for the roaster; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can we cook it ourselves?
If you’re happy to roast and carve, yes. Catering is the easier option.

How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Sunset in Flimwell is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you’re ready.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
