About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- How many people are eating
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The journey to the venue
- How long the roast and service take
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Allergies we should know about
- What the outdoor space is like
- Anything the venue has asked for
It’s easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
For event organisers in West Grinstead
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Questions from West Grinstead
Is West Grinstead too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is West Grinstead from London?
About 37 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: use our quote form.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
The process
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. For an autumn event in West Grinstead, sunset is around 7:05pm in late September, so plan lighting if you are trading into the evening.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
