Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Keep the alternatives labelled
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We dress smartly and keep a low profile.
Rotisserie chicken is a good alternative for those who do not eat pork.

Common questions in Foreland Fields
What’s the nearest station to Foreland Fields?
The closest is Brading station, roughly 2.7 miles away.
Can you cater after a service at Saint Luke?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Do you come to Foreland Fields?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Foreland Fields and the Isle of Wight. Send us the address for a quote.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Do you serve rolls or plates?
Both are possible: plates with sides or simple rolls.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
For event organisers in Foreland Fields
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
