Questions from Howe Hill
Do you cater at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Is Howe Hill close to London?
Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.

Can you carve thinly?
We can carve thinly and serve on plates with potatoes and apple sauce.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.

What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of people
- Time on site
- Season and day of the week

For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
