About the food
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)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Common questions in Townsend
Is Townsend close to London?
About 49 miles from central London.
Is Townsend too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
What about family fun days?
We do. Give us total numbers and we’ll plan for everyone.

- The number of people
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Whether you want china
- Distance from us
Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Roughly how many people
- The venue or postcode
- Allergies we should know about
- What the outdoor space is like
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the site as we found it.

How the day works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Evening staff events in Townsend need light after sunset: sunset ranges from about 9:25pm in June to 4:00pm in December.

- You get a check on the date and the site, and a quote.
- We arrive in good time and start the roast under cover.
- We serve quickly within your break.
- We pack away and leave the site as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
