Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a buffet, a plated hot meal suits residents better. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why us?
- Served at the time you choose
- All the equipment comes with us

Clapton questions
Which station is closest to Clapton?
Clapton station, in Clapton itself.
Could you cook in Millfields Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What time do you serve?
Tell us the time that suits residents, and we will plan the roast around it.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Do residents have to eat rolls?
We’ll serve however suits your residents.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll, just as they should.
Planners, venues and businesses
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.

Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In summer, Clapton has daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden events easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- The home tells us the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve inside or out.
- We clear away quietly.
Before we arrive
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
