The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Where the roaster can go in Staplefield
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- Neighbours warned about the smell
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Working with your venue
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Catered or do it yourself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Think about children’s portions
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
At food time, we carve and serve, then clear up the serving area.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
How we price a hog roast for your party
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Access to the cooking area
- The number of people
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Time on site
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What to tell us
When you contact us, please mention:
- Rough numbers
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: use our quote form.
How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Sunset in Staplefield is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.

Staplefield questions
How far is Staplefield from London?
About 32 miles from central London.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mark: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
Let them know in advance.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Can we cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Most people prefer us to cook so they can enjoy the party.
Do we need cover?
The roaster has its own cover; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
