Planning an event in Larkfield?
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- Access to the cooking area
- Distance from us
- Season and day of the week
- The number of people
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Allergies we should know about
- Roughly how many people
- Rules from the venue or landowner
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Fill in our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Larkfield questions
Is Larkfield close to London?
Roughly 27 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Could you cook in Leybourne Lakes Country Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater in Larkfield?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Larkfield and the rest of Kent included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Can you set up in our car park?
A car park, yard or grounds generally works, given level ground and clearance.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can you do a hog roast for a client event?
It can be dressed up, with plates or china.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Request gluten-free rolls
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, and the roast cooks through the morning.
Salads and coleslaw make it a fuller lunch.
