Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Working with your venue
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.

Hornchurch Marshes questions
Could you cook in Wildspace Conservation Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What if our house in Hornchurch Marshes has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Describe the space and we will tell you honestly.
Is crackling included?
Crackling is part of every roll for anyone who wants it.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. 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, which is built into the price.
