Do you come out to small places like Trench Green?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Trench Green close to London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can you cater in Trench Green?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Trench Green and Reading. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Is clearing up included?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.

A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.

What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan guests can have a vegan burger or sausage, so nobody misses out.
Full catering or machine hire?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

The process
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. Sunset in Trench Green is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Show us the garden or drive.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook for hours on site.
- We serve when you’re ready.
- We clear up so you don’t have to.
How to prepare
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
