What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children usually like it too.
The process
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Autumn and winter afternoons in Coombe get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- Contact us as soon as you have a date.
- We confirm the space.
- We cook on site.
- Our staff serve without fuss.
- We leave the venue tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
Ask for a quote

We are gathering after a service at Christ Church New Malden: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.

The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.

What should we provide?
Only the place, numbers and a contact. We bring everything else.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
