What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.

Serving inside is typically fine with the venue’s agreement.
Will there be enough to go round?

Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

For event organisers in Forest Hill
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
What affects the price in Forest Hill
The biggest factors are:
- How long the roast and service take
- Crockery choices
- How many people are eating
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
