Planning an event in Yorkletts?
Organising for someone else?
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Party hog roast in Yorkletts, slow-roasted on site
Rolls are easy for party guests to eat standing up, so hog roast rolls are ideal. Chicken and vegetarian options keep everyone happy. For milestone birthdays and big family get-togethers, we will put together a menu of jacket potatoes, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce for your guests.
In a small place like Yorkletts, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Yorkletts questions
Do you come out to small places like Yorkletts?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is Yorkletts close to London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
- A heads-up for next door
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so it is cooking when guests arrive.

- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
