Gerrards Cross questions
How far is Gerrards Cross from London?
About 21 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do a hog roast in Bulstrode Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Where will the roaster go?
In the garden or car park, in a spot you approve.
Can relatives eat with residents?
Of course: include them in your numbers.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.

Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. In summer, Gerrards Cross has daylight until about 9:25pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- The home tells us the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve inside or out.
- We pack up calmly.
Preparing for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
