Catering FAQ

If your question isn’t answered here, please get in touch.

What services do you provide?

We offer hog roasts, BBQ catering, stone‑baked pizzas, jacket potatoes, sides, salads and desserts. You can book any service individually or combine them for a mixed catering package.

How far in advance should I book?

Summer weekends and wedding dates book quickly. We recommend booking as early as possible to secure your date.

Do you need electric or water?

Hog Roast & BBQ: Only require access to a standard 13‑amp plug socket for lighting and equipment.

Jacket Potatoes: Our King Edward oven operates on a 16A supply. If your venue doesn’t have this connection, we can bring a generator, though we prefer venue power for a quieter setup.

Water access is helpful but not essential.

How much space do you need?

We typically require a 4m x 3m area for each catering setup. More space is helpful for larger events.

What time will you arrive?

We aim to arrive approximately 3 hours before serving time.

How long do you serve food?

We serve food for up to 2 hours as standard. Longer service can be arranged if needed.

How long does a hog roast take to cook?

A 50kg pig takes around 9 hours to cook. Cold weather may extend cooking time slightly.

Do you cook the hog roast on site?

We slow‑roast our pigs at our catering unit to ensure perfect cooking times, then finish the hog on‑site while we set up. Once ready, the meat is pulled and kept hot in bain‑maries so it’s served fresh, tender and piping hot for your guests.

Can you cook a hog roast indoors?

Yes, in a well‑ventilated area. We prefer outdoor cooking, but our machines are on wheels and can be moved inside once cooked.

Do your BBQs run on coal or gas?

We use LPG gas for a cleaner, safer and more consistent cooking experience.

How long does each pizza take to cook?

Our stone‑baked pizzas cook in around 90 seconds at high temperature, allowing fast service for large groups.

How many guests can you serve with jacket potatoes?

Our King Edward oven can bake 50 potatoes and hold another 50, making it ideal for serving up to around 100 guests.

Do you cater for allergies and dietary requirements?

Yes — we offer vegetarian, vegan, gluten‑free and dairy‑free options. Please inform us of any allergies when booking.

Do I need to pay a deposit?

A £150 deposit secures your date. The remaining balance is due two weeks before your event.

Is the deposit refundable?

Deposits are non‑refundable as they secure your date and staffing.

Do you have public liability insurance?

Yes — we hold £1 million public liability cover and all required food hygiene certifications.

Can you cater events after dark?

Absolutely — we provide adequate lighting for evening and night‑time service.
