Questions from Stuppington
Is Stuppington too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is Stuppington close to London?
About 53 miles from central London.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
It depends on the venue. Ask your venue early, and we will work with them on the details.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
Working with your venue
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. Winter weddings in Stuppington are dark by about 3:50pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:15pm.

Next to a cold buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
