Luton: Parks such as Gillingham Park usually need permission from the council or landowner for any cooking, so check first. After a service at Saint Paul with All Saints, the hog roast can be ready at a nearby hall or house. Late September evenings in Luton lose the light at about 7:00pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:50pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.

What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.

Questions from ME4
How does hog roast hire work?
We roast on site, carve to order and serve, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
