What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Questions from Longcross
What’s the nearest station to Longcross?
The closest is Longcross station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
We’re gathering after a service at Longcross Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Where the roaster can go in Longcross
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- Light near the carving station after dark
- A way in for the roaster
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Working with your venue

If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
How it works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. At a December wedding in Longcross, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.

Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
