Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
Name a friend or relative as our contact, so the immediate family isn’t disturbed.
Add chicken as an alternative.
How it works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Most wakes in Tingrith are held in the afternoon, so light is rarely a problem, but by late December it is dark at about 3:50pm.
- Tell us the date, venue and rough numbers.
- We confirm availability and send a simple quote.
- The roast cooks while you’re at the service.
- Food is ready as guests gather.
- We clear away discreetly.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If the hall or pub provides food, check whether we can cater there. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why Tingrith hosts choose us
- Served at the time you choose
- Carved to order by a chef
- Serving and clearing done for you
- A choice of salads and potatoes

Space, access and the venue
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- Approval from the landlord or committee
- A safe distance from the hall
- A friend or relative we can call
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices

Tingrith: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Nicholas?
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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How far is Tingrith from London?
About 38 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
What if people arrive late?
That is fine: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
