About our event catering in St Leonards
If you are searching for caterers in St Leonards, you probably want someone who turns up, cooks well and clears away. That’s our job, whether it’s a hog roast or a barbecue. Typical bookings include weddings and school fairs and sports days, serving spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and pulled pork.
In St Leonards, a lot of our bookings are garden parties at home, where a hog roast or barbecue saves anyone cooking. Let us know how we reach the garden. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

Questions from St Leonards
Which station is closest to St Leonards?
St Leonards has its own station: St Leonards Warrior Square station.
Is St Leonards close to London?
About 53 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can we have something other than a hog roast?
Not at all: choose a hog roast, a barbecue or both.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Do you cover St Leonards?
Yes, St Leonards is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.
Which menu suits our event?
A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece; a barbecue offers more choice. Many bigger events have both.
What kind of caterers are you?
We cook hog roasts and barbecues at events, with sides and vegetarian and vegan options. Tell us what you’re planning and we’ll suggest a menu.
Does the venue need a kitchen?
Not at all. Everything is cooked outdoors on site, so gardens, fields and car parks all work.

Organising for someone else?
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Where we can cook in St Leonards
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Room for a serving table and a queue
- Access wide enough for our equipment
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask about allergies and diets when guests reply
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Find out who avoids pork for the alternatives
On the day, we arrive in good time and set up under cover, on the spot we agreed.
Label cards for vegetarian and vegan food help guests choose.
How it works
We cook outdoors under cover, so a shower will not stop the food, though your guests will want shelter if it rains. Late May in St Leonards has light until about 8:45pm, and midsummer until about 9:15pm, which gives summer events long evenings.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- You get a menu suggestion and a price.
- We agree where we’ll cook.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We pack away and go.
How to prepare
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
