Grendon Underwood: your questions answered
How far is Grendon Underwood from London?
About 47 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Grendon Underwood?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Do guests have to eat outside?
The roaster stays outside under cover; guests can eat inside.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Is it too cold for a hog roast?
Yes, the roast always cooks outdoors under cover. Plan a warm place for guests.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a restaurant Christmas party, a hog roast at your venue keeps everyone together and is frequently better value. The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Our staff serve and clear

Planners, venues and businesses
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.

What else we do in Grendon Underwood
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Label alternatives clearly
Give us a contact for the evening, especially for an office party.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook. Sunset in Grendon Underwood in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
Preparing for the day
