FAQs for Cheriton
Is Cheriton close to London?
About 61 miles from central London, and well within our area.
We are gathering after a service at Church of All Souls: 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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.

What else we do in Cheriton
For event organisers in Cheriton
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Planning the cooking spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- A heads-up for next door
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- Parking close to the house
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

A hog roast or other catering?
Hire the machine or book catering? DIY suits confident cooks and relaxed parties; catering suits bigger parties. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why book with us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Sides to make it a full meal
Read our prices page and the cost guide.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so tell us if timings change.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. In Cheriton, late May sunsets come at about 8:45pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:50pm, need lights by the roaster.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.

- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
