If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Evening parties in Cold Harbour need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late September it’s around 7:00pm. Lights by the food keep the party going.
- Show us the garden or drive.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We clear up so you don’t have to.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, so the party carries on around us.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a party buffet, hot carved pork feels more special, and nothing sits out all afternoon. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.

The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Common questions in Cold Harbour
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Lawrence?
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’ll gather.
Can you do a hog roast in Spuckles and Kennelling Woods?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Do we need cover?
The roaster has its own cover; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.
Do we need to wash up?
We tidy the serving area.
What about the neighbours?
Let them know in advance, especially if the roaster is near a fence.
Can you cater in Cold Harbour?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Cold Harbour and Kent. Send us the address for a quote.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
