The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there is a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Step by step
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Walton-on-Thames, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Put the menu on the invitation
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
