What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we will bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Common questions in Murston
How far is Murston from London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London.
Can you come to a school fair in Murston?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
Can you sell directly to visitors?
Both models are possible. We’ll agree what suits yours.
Working with your venue
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Make the stall easy to find
- Balance the food line-up
We clear the pitch and take everything away.
If your event has a theme, tell us.
The process
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In late May, sunset in Murston is about 8:50pm, while at midsummer it is about 9:15pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.

- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
