Emsworth questions
How far is Emsworth from London?
Roughly 58 miles from the centre of London.
Can you come to a school fair in Emsworth?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you cover Emsworth?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Emsworth and the rest of West Sussex included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you do charity events?
We are happy to talk it through.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Emsworth are dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We serve to order through the event.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
How to prepare
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
