We make delicious, traditional Spanish paella, fresh in front of everyone. We start with an empty pan, and add the ingredients one by one, creating a beautiful mix of colours, smells and sounds.

We make 3 types of paella:

Paella Valenciana – free-range chicken, runner beans, butter beans
Seafood Paella – tiger prawns, squid, NZ green-lip mussels
Vegetarian Paella – 11 different vegetables

We also do a breakfast fry-up (the Fryella), and delicious garlic bread

Come visit our stall at most music festivals (look for the big bull’s horns) or at our market stall in Portobello Market, London, every Saturday

Roast Hog

… Tim Clements and Katie Turner started hog roasting 7 years ago.

Little did we know that it would lead to the adventures and delights we have experienced with the most recent honour of catering for Heston Blumenthal and the Fat Duck of Bray staff. As well as cooking for The Fat Duck, we have appeared on Gordon Ramsay’s F-Word where we cooked a veal calf for Janet Street Porter’s veal meal. To see us cooking the veal on the F Word click on “Gordon Ramsay’s F-Word” the link above.

The Roast Hog team started offering spit roasts, hog roast and lamb roast catering and barbeques in 2004. In the early days we started Hog roasting and barbeques as a means to promote Portuguese food. Al fresco dining in Portugal is a way of life. As an importer of Portuguese food and having lived in Portugal, Tim Clements, has alot of experience of barbeque and spit roast cooking. In fact, part of what sets us apart from other hog roast caterers is the influence that the Portuguese element brings to our hog roast, lamb roast, chicken spit roasts and barbeques. The use of herbs and spices, extra virgin olive oil, appreciation of quality foods and the importance of quality bread and fresh ingredients in cooking are all important factors in Portuguese cuisine and of the Mediterranean diet. As we became known and recognised as good at what we do the more people asked us to cater for them and now catering the various spit roasts and barbeques that we can offer has become an integral part of who we are.

Over the last 7 years we have grown and expanded our business, supplying our services to many private clients for wedding and party catering, and offering our delicious roasts to visitors at markets and UK’s most famous festivals including Glastonbury, Lovebox, Polo in the Park, High Voltage, Ben&Jerry’s and many others.

Flaming Cactus

We use the freshest of ingredients in making our food, which is free of artificial flavors and preservatives. Our core product is the Burrito, which is available in both meat or vegetarian variations, mild-&-mellow or spicy it is made fresh in front of the customer. It represents a balanced meal and as it is served in an edible flour tortilla bread the only waste is a small sheet of foil. In addition, it’s ideal for outside catered events as it is easy to eat standing.

Pura Vida

We are a family run business and have been offering restaurant quality food at festivals for over 13 years. We operate a Fair Trade policy and pursue improvement rather than exploitation of people and environments. Therefore, we use goods that support this, such as Café Direct Coffee, teas and hot chocolate. We only used biodegradable cutlery and paper products and recycle cardboard and tin waste. We are 90% GM free (and working on the final 10%!). Our vehicles run off biodiesel wherever possible. (There is a depot 3 miles from our base).

The basic ingredients of Mexican cooking are colourful & healthy with a strong emphasis on pulses & fresh vegetables. Tortilla was the name given by the Spaniards to the flat corn pancakes eaten by the Indians in Mexico, traditionally patted by hand with patience and rhythm and never eaten cold. Beans are among the most popular dishes in Mexico and together with Maize & Chillis they make a happy trio satisfying daily protein, carbohydrate and vitamin requirements.
