Near South Earlswood, check tracks and ground with locations before the day. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.
What comes off the roaster

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some crew will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Some productions combine a hog roast with their usual caterer, for a wrap or a milestone. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why us?
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Planned to your running order
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
