About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal.
Roast pork

Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Keep the alternatives labelled
- Ask close family about dietary needs
We arrive in good time and roast quietly, well away from the entrance.
Let us know if there is something the person especially liked.

How it works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Wakes in Tooting are normally in the afternoon, so light is rarely a problem, though in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Share the date, place and numbers.
- We confirm availability and send a simple quote.
- The roast cooks while you’re at the service.
- We serve calmly as people arrive.
- We clear away discreetly.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

FAQs for Tooting
What if our house in Tooting has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
We’re gathering after a service at St Augustine: 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.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Is a week’s notice enough?
Generally. Contact us as soon as you have a date and we will tell you quickly.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Do you serve rolls or plates?
