If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

North Charford: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: 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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you come out to small places like North Charford?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
What do we need to organise?
Just the venue, rough numbers and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Can you cater in North Charford?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including North Charford and Hampshire. Send us the address for a quote.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. For a summer wake in North Charford, there is light until about 9:25pm, so people can spill into the garden.
- Share the date, place and numbers.
- We reply quickly with a price.
- We roast quietly during the service.
- We serve calmly as people arrive.
- We clear away discreetly.
How to prepare
- Gather dietary requirements early

For event organisers in North Charford
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a cold buffet, a warm plated meal is more comforting. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
