What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.

Questions from Lodsworth
We’re gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Peter: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How far is Lodsworth from London?
About 43 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
We cover the cooking area, but plan somewhere dry for guests.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Instead of booking a restaurant, you keep the party at home, with room for everyone. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.

Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A step-free way into the garden
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
We get there early to start the roast, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
How the day works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In Lodsworth, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 4:00pm, need lights by the roaster.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
