What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Before you choose a spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Looking after everyone
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
You won’t have to think about the food. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.

Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.

There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
How do we prepare?
