Is Barham close to London?
Roughly 58 miles from the centre of London.
What’s the nearest station to Barham?

Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.

Do hog roasts work in winter?
We roast outdoors whatever the season. Plan a warm place for guests.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

What we serve, dish by dish
Roast turkey
Offer turkey and pork, and everyone’s happy, with roast potatoes on the side.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us about delays.
Lights around the carving station add atmosphere.
Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
