BBQ caterers - kids party

[LalKJ]

Hello

Apologies for posting in the family room discussion, but as I am looking for something for a kids party, hope other Family Room members may be able to help.

My son's birthday is in the middle of summer and I wanted to try to get someone in to do a small hog roast/bbq for the kids lunch, and extras for any adults that hang around. I am struggling to find something that isn't a massive hog roast for weddings etc. i just wanted something very simple like the park baps they sell on North Cross Road market and maybe some chips (and I will go and ask them I think too). If anyone knows of any local companies or butchers that may do this, I would be very grateful for any recommendations.

Many thanks

The clue is in the name....hog roast. That's a whole hog. Circa 60kgs.

A catering company like Suzanne James or a small supplier might work but you can't have a "small hog roast". I guess you could have suckling pig if guests didn't object.

This is my brother in law's business, delicious food for adults and children

You could ask the Flying Pig if they'd sell you a whole smoked butt of pork.

Or buy one from the butcher and slow cook in the oven and then pull it yourself. Or smoke it in a kettle BBQ. Speak to a good butcher: Flock and Herd are very helpful, and will sort out the right bit of meat for you if you dont know what it's called, just tell them what you want to do with it.

What about seeing if the Rye Books guy would get out his prakti stove and cook up a feast?!

Just a heads up mate, if you ever look again for bbq caterers i suggest Premier Hog Roast. Based from my experience they have awesome and delicions hog roast and bbq, their service is very affordable and they are really a good caterers.

Except they only cover Coventry and Warks and surrounds. Not much use in SE London.

How about an ordinary BBQ, burgers and sausages?

Ask one of the dads to do you a favour, it is such a 'manly' thing, l bet most dads can't wait to rule over the bbq.
