What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
What affects the price in Wandsworth
Here’s what affects the price:
- Menu choices and extras
- Crockery choices
- The number of people

Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
