Your questions about a hog roast day in Wavendon
Is Wavendon close to London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Wavendon?
The closest is Woburn Sands station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
Where will the roaster go?
In the grounds, never in the kitchen.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do residents have to eat rolls?
We can carve thinly and serve on plates with potatoes and apple sauce.
How much room do you 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.
Care home hog roast for your care home event in Wavendon
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, which is easier for many people than a roll. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. We’re frequently asked to cater retirement community days and open afternoons, with halloumi skewers, apple sauce and roast potatoes.
At a rural home near Wavendon, access matters. Timings are planned around your care home event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

What comes off the roaster

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
For event organisers in Wavendon
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a trip out, it’s easier for everyone to enjoy. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why us?
- A clear quote with everything listed
