What happens on the day
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. At midsummer, it’s light in Battersea until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

- We check the space and send a price.
- We set up hours ahead.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.

What else we do in Battersea
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
Warn the neighbours: the roast cooks for hours.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
Common questions in Battersea
What if our house in Battersea has no side access?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can you cater after a service at Clapham Welsh Presbyterian Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you cover Battersea?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
Do we need cover?
We cover the cooking area, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What about kids?
Generally, yes, so we get the amounts right.

Working with your venue

Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
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.
What the cooking area needs
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- A word with the neighbours
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
Battersea is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
