What happens on the day
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Late September evenings in Latimer lose the light at about 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children typically like it too.
Looking after everyone

- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Put the menu on the invitation
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, then clear up.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.

- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle

Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast does not need a kitchen, which frequently makes it better value. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

For event organisers in Latimer
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: 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 ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
