About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, and handy for anyone who does not eat pork.
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.

Where the roaster can go in Gants Hill
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Access for our equipment, without steps
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
As a London location, Gants Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.

Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
We will be with you for a good part of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
How the day works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Gants Hill, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:50pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
How to prepare
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Let us know about tight access
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
