On a cold December night, hot pork and crackling are hard to beat. The roaster cooks outside under cover and we carve hot for your festive party in Mortimer West End. We’re frequently asked to cater club and society Christmas parties and end-of-year team celebrations, serving roast potatoes, roast turkey and halloumi skewers.
In a small place like Mortimer West End, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.

Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
