Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
We will be with you for a good part of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast.
What the cooking area needs
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle

St Ann's Green: your questions answered
Is St Ann's Green too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you cater at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you cook it or do we?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. We’ll explain what’s included in each when we quote.
Do you come to St Ann's Green?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including St Ann's Green and Kent. Send us the address for a quote.
