Questions from New Malden
Which station is closest to New Malden?
New Malden has its own station: New Malden station.
We are gathering after a service at New Malden Baptist Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
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 is not something we offer.

What we serve, dish by dish

Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to booking a function room menu, a hog roast at a hall is often simpler. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why New Malden hosts choose us
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
