About the food

Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Autumn parties in Hatford get dark early: about 7:10pm by late September and 4:00pm by December. Light the garden path and the serving area.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We set up hours ahead.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
Warn the neighbours: the roast cooks for hours, and they may ask for a roll.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
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.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
