Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Plates or china
- Distance from us
- Season and day of the week
Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
Details that help
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many people
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Allergies we should know about
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Fill in our quote form.
What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
The process
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Summer events in East Wickham have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Send final numbers in good time
How to get a price
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.

Before you choose a spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
- Details of what the event requires
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
As a London location, East Wickham is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
What we serve
- Rotisserie chicken
- Halloumi skewers (V)

Organising for someone else?
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
