Isington: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at Church of the Holy Cross?
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. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you come out to small places like Isington?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
What about the neighbours?
Let them know in advance, especially if the roaster is near a fence.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A heads-up for next door
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Everything goes into a soft roll, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Events we cater in Isington
Hardly any clearing up, since we provide plates and tidy up.

- Street parties

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Think about children’s portions
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, so the party carries on around us.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Next to a party buffet, hot carved pork feels more special, and nothing sits out all afternoon. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why us?
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Served at the time you choose
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- A clear quote with everything listed
