A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables.
Looking after everyone
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Find out who does not eat pork for the alternatives
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Instead of booking a restaurant, you keep the party at home, with room for everyone. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why book with us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Timed around your day
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- We bring everything to cook and serve
Read our prices page and what a hog roast costs.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. Sunset in Lunsford is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is generally in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:50pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We clear the serving area and go.
How to prepare
- Name a contact for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
