For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every care home event is different. What matters most:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Numbers
- Travel to Paynes Green
- Whether you want china
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

Questions from Paynes Green
Is Paynes Green too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.

Can you cater in Paynes Green?
Yes, Paynes Green is in our area. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
Can you serve on plates?
Plates with thin slices are easy to arrange.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
