What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

What comes off the roaster

Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing usually contains gluten.

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 you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is 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.

Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St. Mary?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do we need to provide electricity?

We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do we need our own staff?

Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.

The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Around midsummer it stays light in Nashes Green until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the space and quote.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
