What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A word with the neighbours
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
What we serve
- Rotisserie chicken
- Crackling
- Halloumi skewers (V)

Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so just let us know.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
How the day works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Evening parties in Upper Clatford need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it’s around 7:10pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
