FAQs for Ware
Do you come out to small places like Ware?

What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a party buffet, hot carved pork feels more special, and nothing sits out all afternoon. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why Ware hosts choose us
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to

Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
How it works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. By late September, sunset in Ware is about 7:00pm; by December it is about 3:50pm. Plan lights for the path and the food.
- Show us the garden or drive.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- We serve when you are ready.
- We leave the garden tidy.
How to prepare
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
How to get a price
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the party is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.

For event organisers in Ware
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Think about children’s portions
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
We get there early to start the roast, so it’s cooking when guests arrive.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
