A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a cold buffet, roast pork on a plate with potatoes is more filling. 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.

How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Summer evenings in West Ealing stay light until about 9:20pm, so people can spill into the garden.
- Contact us when the date is set.
- We confirm the space.
- We cook on site.
- Our staff serve without fuss.
- We tidy up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
