In a small place like Luddesdown, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.

- How they handle allergens and dietary needs
- What the cooking area needs: space, cover and access
- Staffing on the day
Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Common questions in Luddesdown
Which station is closest to Luddesdown?
The closest is Sole Street station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Can you cater after a service at Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul?
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.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
What about kids?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, with chicken as an alternative.
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.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.

Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, because every party is different. The main factors are:
- Site access
- How long the roast and service take
- Plates or china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What to tell us
When you contact us, please mention:
- Rough numbers
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The address or postcode
- Any venue rules
When you’re weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. Ours lists it clearly. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Let us know roughly how many children
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, so the party carries on around us.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains

- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
