A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a wedding barbecue, a hog roast feeds everyone at once from one roast without batches coming off a grill. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

Common questions in Coldwaltham
How far is Coldwaltham from London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
We are gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Giles: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Do you come to Coldwaltham?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Coldwaltham and the rest of West Sussex included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee, and we agree the spot with your venue.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, especially for guests who do not eat pork.

Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- Access to the cooking area
- Crockery choices
- Menu choices and extras
- The journey to the venue
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
