Surrey Quays questions
Can you cater after a service at St Katharine with St Bartholomew?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What’s the nearest station to Surrey Quays?
Surrey Quays station, in Surrey Quays itself.
Will people get crackling?
It is: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Is it just pork?
It is built around the hog, but lamb and chicken can be added.

How it works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Late September evenings in Surrey Quays lose the light at about 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
