Event catering in Richmond, served hot
We always include meat-free choices: halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Lamb, chicken and beef options help when some guests do not eat pork. For work events and open days and work Christmas parties, we’ll put together a menu of salads, hog roast rolls with crackling and pulled pork for your guests.
For a London event in Richmond, tell us about steps, gates and parking: parking for our vehicle and a route to the cooking spot. We’ll plan the rest. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to.

A closer look at the menu
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Choosing caterers in Richmond
Not sure which to choose? The hog roast is the showpiece, the barbecue the crowd-pleaser. Many events have both. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What you get with us

Planning the cooking spot
We cook outdoors, so the cooking spot is the main thing to plan. Here’s what helps:
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
- Enough room for people to queue
- Access wide enough for our equipment
Richmond is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Ask about allergies and diets when guests reply
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Request gluten-free rolls
We bring the cooking equipment with us, so there’s nothing for you to find or hire for the cooking.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

How the day works
Your serving time sets our timings: a hog roast needs us there hours ahead, a barbecue a little less. Either way, it is ready on time. For an evening event in Richmond, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:05pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- First, you send us the occasion, date, venue and numbers.
- You get a menu suggestion and a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time and set up under cover.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
