How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. By late September, the light in Leysdown-on-Sea goes at about 7:00pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.
Before we arrive
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Name a contact for the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Questions from Leysdown-on-Sea
Do you come out to small places like Leysdown-on-Sea?

Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you do soft food?
Modified meals should come from your kitchen. We’ll share allergen and menu details.

Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.

Many homes make it a family day.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
What time do you serve?
We fit around the home’s routine, lunch or an afternoon event.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
A hog roast or other catering?
A hog roast can be part of a wider event, such as a singer or a garden fête. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
