What else we do in Crockerhill
Working with your venue
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Crockerhill questions
Can you cater after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
How far is Crockerhill from London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: use our quote form.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. We will explain what’s included in each when we quote.
What meats can we have?
It is built around the hog, with lamb and chicken as extras.
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
Name someone to meet us, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Access for our equipment, without steps
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Catered or DIY? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. For bigger events, catering is usually the easier choice. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why Crockerhill hosts choose us
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- An itemised quote

- Anything the venue has asked for
- The venue or postcode
- Allergies we should know about
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china

How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. Late September evenings in Crockerhill lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it is nearer 4:00pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
