About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Party hog roast near Northington
For a relaxed party, you can hire the machine and cook it yourself. Most people choose the catered option, so they can enjoy the party. We’re often asked to cater christenings and naming days and back-garden get-togethers, with hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and crackling.

Other occasions in Northington
For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
The process
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In Northington, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 4:00pm in December, we need light to carve.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Before we arrive

Northington questions
How far is Northington from London?
Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St John the Evangelist?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.

A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
What about coeliacs?

Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
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.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
