Common questions in Punnett's Town
Is Punnett's Town too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is Punnett's Town close to London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Do you do Christmas fairs?
Yes. Hot rolls on a cold evening sell well.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken

Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.

- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests

What else we do in Punnett's Town
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
The process
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. A lunchtime Christmas party in Punnett's Town is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- 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.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
