West Langdon: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like West Langdon?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to West Langdon?
The closest is Martin Mill station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Can you do turkey for a Christmas party?
Yes: turkey and pork together suit most Christmas parties.
How long does the roast need?
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.
Do guests have to eat outside?
We cook outside, but can normally serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

About the food
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Planners, venues and businesses
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
