Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September; once it’s dark, we need light at the carving station.

Planning for dietary needs

Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:

Collect allergies with your RSVPs
If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled

Slow roasting needs attention, and that is what we are there for. You can get on with your event.

Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal.

What affects the price in ME19

We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:

Access to the cooking area
Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Time on site
The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken

The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.

What to tell us

When you contact us, please mention:

The address or postcode
An estimate of numbers
Any venue rules

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.

A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

What the cooking area needs

We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:

Any venue rules sorted in advance
Vehicle access close to the cooking area
Nothing overhead that could catch the heat

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet

Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. Buffets can sit out for hours.

What your quote should include

How long the roast takes and when they’ll arrive
How they handle allergens and dietary needs
Any travel or access charges
How many staff will carve and serve
