Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to ordering takeaway, a hog roast is part of the party, not just the food. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
What you get with us
- Our staff serve and clear
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Planned to your running order
See our pricing or the cost guide.
Working with your venue
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Planning the cooking spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A word with the neighbours
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
What we serve
- Hog roast rolls
- Jacket potatoes
- Crackling
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Salads
- Rotisserie chicken
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Coleslaw
Looking after everyone
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so just let us know.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. In Folly Town, late May sunsets come at about 8:45pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so an early-evening carve is generally in daylight. After about 3:50pm in December, we need light to carve.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the cooking spot, and a quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you are ready.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
