Laughton questions
How far is Laughton from London?
About 43 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Laughton?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can we cook it ourselves?
If you are happy to roast and carve, yes. Most people prefer us to cook so they can enjoy the party.
Is clearing up included?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
For event organisers in Laughton
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
At food time, we carve and serve, then clear up the serving area.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
Why choose a hog roast in Laughton?
Compared with cooking for everyone yourself, you get to enjoy the party. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why book with us
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Fresh carving at the serving station

Sunset in Laughton is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is normally in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.
