How we compare with other caterers
Hog roast or barbecue? The hog roast is the showpiece, the barbecue the crowd-pleaser. Many events have both. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Planned to your running order
- Two menus to choose from
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is what matters most. A quick checklist:
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
- A clear way in from where we park
- Flat ground outdoors for the cooking
Temple 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.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
