Plaish questions
Do you come out to small places like Plaish?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St. Nicholas in Castro?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Do children like hog roasts?
Generally, yes, so we can plan quantities.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Full catering or machine hire?
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.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Why choose a hog roast in Plaish?
Next to ordering takeaway, the roast is an event in itself. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Why book with us
- Timed around your day

What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so it’s cooking when guests arrive.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
Planning the cooking spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A wet-weather plan for guests
Plaish is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
