A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing usually contains gluten.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Full catering or machine hire?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Lighting for evening service
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.

About 52 miles from central London.
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 plan the timings from when you want to eat.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Many couples do exactly that, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Give final numbers in good time
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Note which guests do not eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
Give us your venue coordinator’s details, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.
