Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Common questions in Culverstone Green
Which station is closest to Culverstone Green?
Sole Street station, about 3.2 miles north of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Culverstone Green?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.

We cook outside, never inside the marquee.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.

Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm.
