About the food
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing normally contains gluten.
Working with your venue
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
At food time, we carve and serve, then tidy up.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, quoted separately.
What affects the price in Abbey Wood
We work out each quote from:
- Which meats and sides you choose

Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Anything the venue has asked for
- An estimate of numbers
- Allergies we should know about

Why book with us
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- An itemised quote
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

How it works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. Sunset in Abbey Wood is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is typically in daylight. After about 3:50pm in December, we need light to carve.
