Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Tell us about the garden and the access, and we’ll give you an honest answer.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
What about kids?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.
Do you bring a gazebo?
We cover the cooking area, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. For an evening party in Godinton, think about light: it is light until about 9:15pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
