A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast is more relaxed and frequently better value. It still feels special. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why book with us
- Planned to your running order

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
It is one of our most popular wedding bookings. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling go down well after dancing.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.

Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.

We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Working with your venue
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What happens on the day
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In Stoke, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, 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.
