About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.

Common questions in Stanmore
Is Stanmore close to London?
About 52 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Stanmore?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you come to Stanmore?

How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Can relatives eat with residents?
Families and staff are welcome.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Do you cook in the kitchen?
Outdoors under cover, on a level spot clear of emergency access.
What happens on the day
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Winter afternoons in Stanmore are short, with sunset at about 4:00pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
