A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
For event organisers in Walthamstow Village
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Request thin slices
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
A named contact in the home helps on the day.
Roast or new potatoes and apple sauce make it a full meal.
Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- How many people are eating
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Menu choices and extras
- Distance from us
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Getting an accurate quote

- Dietary requirements
- The date and time of the event
- The address or postcode
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a trip out, it is easier for everyone to enjoy. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What you get with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Carved to order by a chef
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Crackling for everyone who wants it

What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Late May in Walthamstow Village has light until about 8:50pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.
- Your activities lead or manager gets in touch with a date.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Name a contact for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
