We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. On the menu are spit-roast lamb, coleslaw and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater corporate events and festive gatherings.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so all you need is the space.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
A hog roast compared with other options

Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

Questions from Woodford Bridge
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Paul?
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.
Can you do a hog roast in Linder's Field?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.

We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
