What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, served in a roll with salads.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
FAQs for Cliffe
Is Cliffe close to London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London.
Could you cook in Railway Land?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Do hog roasts work in winter?
Winter is a great time for a hog roast, as long as guests have shelter.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What about Christmas markets?
Yes, a hog roast is a popular stall at Christmas fairs. Tell us the pitch and how food will be paid for.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Sunset in Cliffe in late December is about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- Plates or china
- Time on site
- Season and day of the week
- The number of people
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Details that help
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Rough numbers
- The address or postcode
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Dietary requirements
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or BN7 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.

Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Send the allergen list round before the party
At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Add roast turkey for a traditional Christmas touch.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
