Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
We serve and clear without fuss, so the party carries on around us.

How the day works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. In Shaw, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm, which means an evening hog roast is normally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing typically contains gluten.
Why choose a hog roast in Shaw?
If your venue does its own catering, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. There may be a fee. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why book with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Served at the time you choose
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Shaw
We’re gathering after a service at Parish Church of St Mary: 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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
How far is Shaw from London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Do you cover Shaw?
We do. Send us the address and we will check the date.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
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 typically easier.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
