What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. At midsummer, it is light in Horsham until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Send a photo of where the roaster could go.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook for hours on site.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We leave the garden tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
How to get a price

The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
How we price a hog roast for your party
The biggest factors are:
- Time on site
- Crockery choices
- Distance from us
- Numbers
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- Your menu choices
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
When you’re weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. Ours lists it clearly. To get yours, fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Let us know roughly how many children
Have a word with the neighbours first: the roast cooks for hours, and they may ask for a roll.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
