Common questions in North Looe
How far is North Looe from London?
Roughly 13 miles from the centre of London.
Is North Looe too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
What meats can we have?
It is built around the hog, but lamb and chicken can be added.
Can you cater in North Looe?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, North Looe and the rest of Surrey included. Send us the address for a quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast doesn’t need a kitchen, which usually keeps the cost down. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why us?
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Planned to your running order
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

Working with your venue
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so all you need is the space.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
