Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
We get there early to start the roast, so it’s cooking when guests arrive.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.

Questions from West Green
We’re gathering after a service at St Mary's Church: 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.
Is West Green close to London?
About 38 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
What about the neighbours?
It’s worth warning them: roasting takes hours. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
Step by step
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Evening parties in West Green need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:05pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.

Getting ready for the day

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- Neighbours warned about the smell
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
