A hog roast near Stone Street
Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables.
The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. Sunset in Stone Street is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is normally in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.

Common questions in Stone Street
Can you cater after a service at St Lawrence?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Stone Street?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
Let them know in advance.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so it’s cooking when guests arrive.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a party buffet, a hog roast is hot and freshly carved, and nothing sits out all afternoon. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
