What else we do in Three Mile Cross
Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Should I cook it myself?
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.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Add a dietary question to the invite
A cooked roast holds for a while, so just let us know.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.

Sunset in Three Mile Cross is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is generally in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
