What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll, just as they should.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. At midsummer, it is light in Stoke Poges until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

- We carve and serve at food time.

A friendly word helps: roasting takes hours. They may want a roll.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can you work around our timings?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.

Do you provide china?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
