Planning for dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Give final numbers in good time
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
Give us your venue coordinator’s details, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.

Step by step
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. In Henley Street, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:00pm, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:50pm.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and which meal you’d like.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.

Preparing for the day
