Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
We set up in the agreed spot, so the party carries on around us.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
DIY or catered? DIY suits confident cooks and relaxed parties; catering suits bigger or more important parties. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

Describe the space and the way in, and we will give you an honest answer.

- A level patio, lawn or driveway
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

What happens on the day
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. At midsummer, it is light in Roke until about 9:25pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
