Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.

Questions from South Chingford
Can you come to a school fair in South Chingford?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
What if our house in South Chingford has no side access?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can you help with a fundraiser?
Let us know your plans, and we will suggest options.
About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
Should I cook it myself?
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.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
