Event catering in West Norwood, cooked on site
We’re a mobile catering company: we bring the kitchen to you. In West Norwood, that means a hog roast, a barbecue or both, cooked outdoors under cover at your venue, and our team serves and tidies up. We serve halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and beef burgers, and we’re frequently booked for film and TV crews and wakes and gatherings after a funeral.
Getting our equipment into a London venue in West Norwood needs a little planning: where we can unload, and how we reach the cooking spot. We’ll plan the rest. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Find out who avoids pork so we can plan lamb, chicken or beef
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
The serving area is kept tidy and stocked, right through to the last plate.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.

Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is what matters most. Here’s what helps:
- A level, open spot outdoors to cook
- Room for a serving table and a queue
- A green light from whoever owns the site
As a London location, West Norwood is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Your questions about caterers in West Norwood
What if our house in West Norwood has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Could you cook in Long Meadow?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you cater somewhere with no kitchen?
No. Everything is cooked outdoors on site, which is why we can cater almost anywhere.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Can we have something other than a hog roast?
Not at all: there’s a full barbecue menu as well.
Do you offer halal meat?
We don’t offer halal. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
Do you cater large events?
A hog roast is made for big groups. Tell us about the event and we will quote.
Can we put you in touch with our venue?
Yes. Give us their contact details and we’ll sort the practical side.
