About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.

Questions from Wootton
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Martin: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Wootton?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, so the party carries on around us.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.

For planners, venues and organisers
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Sunset in Wootton is about 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is typically in daylight. After about 3:50pm in December, we need light to carve.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We set up hours ahead.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Name a contact for the day
