No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do we need to provide electricity?

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast feeds everyone at once from one roast. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why us?
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside

What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, carved to order at the serving station, frequently with mint sauce.
How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Golden-hour photos in Budlett's Common at midsummer come around 9:15pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Getting ready for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.

- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
