Organising for someone else?

Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
What the cooking area needs
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- A spot well away from the house
- Neighbours warned about the smell
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
Popular choices
- Hog roast rolls
- Salads
- Crackling
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Rotisserie chicken
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Coleslaw
- Jacket potatoes

The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
How it works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Evening parties in Patcham need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it’s around 7:05pm. Lights by the food keep the party going.
