What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.
How it works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. In December, it’s dark in Stockbury 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.
- Ask early for a December date.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We arrive while it is light and set up under cover.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We tidy up and leave.
Preparing for the day

- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Request gluten-free rolls
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us about delays.

Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Distance from us
- Plates or china
- Numbers
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Any venue rules
- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is
- A picture of the cooking area
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: fill in our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
