The process
We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. In December, it’s dark in Lower Cox Street by about 3:50pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Book early for December.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.

FAQs for Lower Cox Street
Do you come out to small places like Lower Cox Street?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Could you cook in White Horse Wood?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Can you cater in Lower Cox Street?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Lower Cox Street and Kent. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Mix and match: pork for the crackling fans, turkey for traditionalists. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
