Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

What the cooking area needs
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
- Parking close to the house
- A word with the neighbours
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

- Hog roast rolls
- Coleslaw
- Salads

- Halloumi skewers (V)

- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

The process
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Sunset in Gay Street is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is generally in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Show us the garden or drive.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook for hours on site.
- We serve when you are ready.
- We leave the garden tidy.
How to prepare
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
