Questions from Litlington
Is Litlington too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Litlington from London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
What about residents who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your residents will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can residents with swallowing difficulties have the hog roast?
Modified textures are best done by the home; we will work alongside your kitchen.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Where residents need modified meals, your kitchen looks after those portions. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Served at the time you choose
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- All the equipment comes with us
- Choices for people who do not eat pork

The process
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Late-September sunset in Litlington is about 7:05pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- The home tells us the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We clear away quietly.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Request thin slices
Your team helps residents as needed.
Rotisserie chicken is an alternative to pork.
