How the day works
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. Evening food at a Kent Street wedding often goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

Planning help
Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
For planners, venues and organisers
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
We will liaise with your venue coordinator, for access and timings.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, as an extra.

Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- A serving area close to where guests eat

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
