A hog roast compared with other options
Next to ordering takeaway, the roast is an event in itself. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

Strand-on-the-Green questions
Could you cook in Kew Green?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater after a service at St Paul's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What about the neighbours?
It’s worth warning them: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
If you are happy to roast and carve, yes. Most people prefer us to cook so they can enjoy the party.
Can you cater in Strand-on-the-Green?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Strand-on-the-Green and the rest of Greater London included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then clear up the serving area.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
