What comes off the roaster

Roast pork

Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, so it stays hot and juicy.

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.

Prices and what affects them

Things that change the price:

  • How many people are eating
  • Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
  • The serving time and how long we’re on site
  • The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken

The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.

Details that help

Good details mean a good quote. Please include:

  • Your date and serving time
  • Roughly how many people
  • Which meats and sides you’d like
  • Anything the venue has asked for

Send us the date, the address or IG2 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.

Catered or do it yourself?

Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

Questions from Aldborough Hatch

We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Peter: can you cater?

Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.

Which station is closest to Aldborough Hatch?

Goodmayes station, about 1.2 miles south-east of the centre.

Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?

Most gardens can work, and a way to wheel the equipment through. A picture helps.

What space does the roaster need?

Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.

What about coeliacs?

Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.

Can we just hire the roaster?

Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.

How long does the roast need?

Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.

Is clearing up included?

We tidy the serving area, so there is very little washing up.
