Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

FAQs for Cores End
Is Cores End too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Cores End from London?
About 27 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide full allergen information for every dish. Gluten-free rolls can be provided.
Can you do soft food?
Modified textures are best done by the home; your team prepares those portions.
Planning for dietary needs
Some residents won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
Ask about china, quoted separately.
The process
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In summer, Cores End has daylight until about 9:25pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
Getting a price
