How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in East Molesey are dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Tell us about the event.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Common questions in East Molesey
Which station is closest to East Molesey?
Hampton Court station, about 0.5 miles east of the centre.
Is East Molesey close to London?
About 13 miles from central London.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
Do you do fêtes?
Yes, fêtes are a natural fit. Send us the details.
Can visitors buy their own food?
It depends on how your event works. Let us know how you’d like it to work and we will talk it through.
What about visitors who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
