Hythe End questions
How far is Hythe End from London?
Roughly 20 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Hythe End?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can you serve on plates?
Both are possible: plates with sides or simple rolls.
Can you cater at home?
At home, a hall, a club or a venue, as long as there’s an outdoor spot to cook.
Do you cover Hythe End?
Yes, Hythe End is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a venue’s set menu, a hog roast at home or a hall can be simpler and better value. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
