Your questions about a hog roast day in Booker
How far is Booker from London?
About 31 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Booker?
High Wycombe station, about 2.1 miles east of the centre.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can you fit around mealtimes?
Choose the time, and we will be ready.
The process
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can enjoy your care home event. In Booker, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.

- Food goes out on plates.

Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.

- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A spot that keeps access clear
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
