What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. A summer party in North Ockendon stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
