How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. In Queenborough, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, 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’s dark by about 3:50pm.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London.
We are gathering after a service at Parish Church of the Holy Trinity: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Yes. We serve it on plates with salads and potatoes, with china available, and our staff serve your guests.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Lamb and chicken are both available alongside the hog.

For event organisers in Queenborough
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with pizza or other evening vans, carving serves plenty of people fast. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why Queenborough hosts choose us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
