Northease questions
Do you come out to small places like Northease?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Northease from London?
About 46 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
How early should we book for Christmas?
Very quickly, so ask early. Weekdays often have more availability.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.

What affects the price in Northease
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Site access
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The date and time of the event
- Any venue rules
- Allergies we should know about
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. We spell it out in ours. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw

The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. With sunset at about 3:55pm in December, most Christmas parties in Northease are after dark. The cooking area is lit; tell us about lighting on the way to it.
- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- We check the venue and send a price.
- On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve hot food at the agreed time.
- We clear away, even on a dark, wet evening.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
