Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
Have a word with the neighbours first: the roast cooks for hours.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. At midsummer, it is light in Mayfield until about 9:15pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- Send us your party date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- When it’s time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about tight access
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

Where the roaster can go in Mayfield
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:

- A heads-up for next door
- A spot well away from the house
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Rotisserie chicken
- Coleslaw
- Crackling
- Salads
- Hog roast rolls
- Jacket potatoes

Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
