Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a buffet, hot carved pork on a plate is easier to manage for many residents. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Questions from Old Heathfield
Do you come out to small places like Old Heathfield?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is Old Heathfield close to London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London.
Can visitors eat too?
Of course: include them in your numbers.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
About the food
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Working with your venue
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.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count families and staff too
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
The roaster stays clear of busy paths and windows.
Add potatoes and apple sauce.
