We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change.

- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you are ready.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
Before we arrive

Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so it is cooking when guests arrive.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
