How the day works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Sunset in West End is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is generally in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.
- Send a picture of where the roaster could go.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook for hours on site.
- We serve when you’re ready.
- We clear up so you do not have to.
How to prepare
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
