What happens on the day
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Autumn and winter afternoons in Sutton get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so we plan lighting for later gatherings.
- Contact us when the date is set.
- We check the cooking spot with the venue.
- We cook on site.
- Our staff serve without fuss.
- We leave the venue tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Is a hog roast right for your wake?
Next to sandwiches, a hog roast is a warm meal. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
- Sides to make it a full meal
- An itemised quote
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Served at the time you choose

What affects the price in Sutton
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Time on site
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The journey to the venue
- How many people are eating
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.

Sutton: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at St Nicholas Church?
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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Could you cook in Manor Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Do you cover Sutton?
We do. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
