Common questions in Lordington
We are gathering after a service at Racton Church: 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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Lordington too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
What if the service runs late?
Name someone we can call and we will adjust.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
Do you need anything from the family?
Not much: an outdoor cooking spot and someone to meet us.
How it works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. Autumn and winter afternoons in Lordington get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so we plan lighting for later gatherings.
- It starts with the date, venue and when people are expected.
- We confirm availability and send a price.
- The roast cooks while the service is under way.
- Food is ready when people arrive.
- We tidy up and leave without fuss.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
Ask for a quote
Every wake is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your wake: send us your details through our quote form.

What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Request gluten-free rolls
Our staff are discreet and respectful throughout.
Ask about china.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
