Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Access to the cooking area
- The date and time of year
- How long the roast and service take
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
Make sure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
