Common questions in Birchgrove
Is Birchgrove close to London?
About 31 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is Birchgrove too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
How early should we book for Christmas?
As early as possible, especially for Fridays and Saturdays. Send your date early.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Do hog roasts work in winter?
Winter is a great time for a hog roast, as long as guests have shelter.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Why choose a hog roast in Birchgrove?
Next to a plated turkey lunch, a hog roast with turkey is relaxed and easier to serve. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us about delays.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal.

- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
