Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Menu choices and extras
- Access to the cooking area
- How many people are eating
- How long the roast and service take
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Questions from Ford
How far is Ford from London?
About 39 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Ford?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you have documents for event organisers?
Send us your trader requirements, and we will confirm what we can provide.
Do you come to Ford?
Yes, Ford is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.

Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Tell us what the event asks of traders

At the end, we pack down and take our waste.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.
