A hog roast or other catering?
Rather than relatives cooking, we take the cooking off the family’s hands. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why book with us
- Carved to order by a chef
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to

We do our best at short notice. Send the date and venue and we’ll reply promptly.
Can you wait?
Name someone we can call and we’ll serve when everyone is there.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A hall or room for eating
- A friend or relative we can call
- A short route for the equipment
Wimbledon Park is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.

Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Ask close family about dietary needs
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
One contact for the day helps, so the immediate family isn’t disturbed.
Plates and sides make it a full meal.
Step by step
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. In late September, sunset in Wimbledon Park is about 7:05pm; in December, about 3:55pm, so we plan lighting for later gatherings.
- Get in touch when the date is set.
- We confirm the space.
- We set up and roast on the day.
- Our staff serve without fuss.
- We tidy up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
