For event organisers in Lamport

Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Lamport questions
Can you do a hog roast in Stowe Park and Garden?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come out to small places like Lamport?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Who serves?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Who books funeral wake catering in Lamport?

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a venue’s set menu, a hog roast at a hall is often simpler. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Planning for dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Check with family about dietary needs
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Serve on plates with salads and potatoes for a sit-down meal.
