For event organisers in Eversley Cross

Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
At a winter fair, hot pork rolls are always popular. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why us?
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Choices for people who do not eat pork

Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Send the allergen list round before the party
Lighting at the serving table matters after dark, and we’ll plan it with you.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
Before you choose a spot
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- Light by the serving table
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
