Atherington: your questions answered
Is Atherington close to London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like Atherington?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
Can you do turkey for a Christmas party?
Yes: add turkey to the menu.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.

What affects the price in Atherington
Your quote depends on:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How many people are eating
- Whether you want china
- The date and time of year
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Rough numbers
- Where the event is
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Your menu choices
Every Christmas party is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your Christmas party: fill in our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.

We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Label alternatives clearly

- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, carved fresh.
