FAQs for Little Chelsea
Can you do a hog roast in Burton’s Court?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
What if our house in Little Chelsea has no side access?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What should we provide?
Just the venue, rough numbers and a contact for the day. We will handle the rest.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?
We will always try. Tell us the details for a quick answer.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
What happens on the day
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Wakes in Little Chelsea are normally in the afternoon, which is daylight for most of the year, but by late December it’s dark at about 3:55pm.

Preparing for the day

Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Check with family about dietary needs
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Request gluten-free rolls
One contact for the day helps, so the immediate family is not disturbed.
Add chicken as an alternative.
A hog roast or other catering?
If the hall or pub provides food, ask whether outside caterers are allowed. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
