What comes off the roaster

Roast pork

Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.

Spit-roast lamb

Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, and handy for anyone who does not eat pork.

Should I cook it myself?

You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

Looking after everyone

Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:

  • Put the menu on the invitation
  • Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
  • Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
  • Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly

We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, since slow roasting starts early.

Add lamb or chicken for a second roast.

Prices and what affects them

Things that change the price:

  • Numbers
  • Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
  • Time on site
  • How easy it is to reach the spot

Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Details that help

To check the date and the space, tell us:

  • Any dietary needs or allergies
  • Rules from the venue or landowner
  • Roughly how many people
  • The date and when you’d like to eat

Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we will check it: use our quote form.

Your questions about a hog roast in NW4

How long does a hog roast take to cook?

Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.

Is mains power needed?

The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.

When should we book?

Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.

What about coeliacs?

Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

Can we have lamb or chicken?

Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. Vegetarian and vegan options are available too.

What happens in bad weather?

We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.

Can you be flexible on serving time?

Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.

  • Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
  • Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
  • Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
  • Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
