What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing usually contains gluten.
Organising for someone else?
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.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

The closest is Micheldever station, roughly 3.6 miles away.
How far is North Waltham from London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can visitors eat too?
Of course: include them in your numbers.
Can you serve on plates?
We can carve thinly and serve on plates with potatoes and apple sauce.
What about texture-modified diets?
Modified textures are best done by the home; your team prepares those portions.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.

- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request thin slices
We serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
Roast or new potatoes and apple sauce make it a full meal.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to the usual lunch, a hog roast brings the event to residents. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
