FAQs for Littleton
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary Magdalene: can you cater?
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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Littleton too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you come to Littleton?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Littleton and Surrey. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
What should we provide?
Just the venue, rough numbers and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Funeral wake catering near Littleton
If the service runs late, we wait: a cooked roast can be held for a while. Name someone we can call on the day. Whether it’s pub and club wakes and celebration-of-life gatherings, we’ll put together a menu of apple sauce, halloumi skewers and roast pork in rolls or on plates for your guests.
In rural Littleton, home or the hall is usual. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.

We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. In late September, sunset in Littleton is about 7:05pm; in December, about 3:55pm, so a later wake may need lighting outside.

- We check the cooking spot with the venue.
- We set up and roast on the day.
- Our staff serve without fuss.
- We leave the venue tidy.
