The process
Here’s how the day generally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. In Littlebourne, 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.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- We carve and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear up and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

About the food
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
