Wherever your party is in ME3 and DA12, we can bring the roaster to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Local streets include Villa Road, Darby Gardens and Ash Crescent; a party on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in.

FAQs for Higham
Can you cater after a service at Church of St John?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Could you cook in Rede Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can you work around our timings?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
We bring cover for the roaster; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.
Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
