Plan where the roaster will go: a level spot away from the house and trees, under cover. We will check it with you. Typical bookings include neighbourhood parties and reunions, serving jacket potatoes, crackling and rotisserie chicken.
In a small place like Shilton, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. Timings are planned around your party, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty.

- Staffing on the day
- How long the roast takes and when they’ll arrive
- What crockery is supplied
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. At midsummer, it is light in Shilton until about 9:30pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.

- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- When it’s time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear up and pack away.
How to prepare

Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so just let us know.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.

A hog roast or other catering?
