Wigmore: your questions answered

Is Wigmore close to London?
Roughly 31 miles from the centre of London.
Do hog roasts work in winter?

Do you do DIY hog roast hire?

About the food

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a plated turkey lunch, a hog roast with turkey is relaxed and easier to serve. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why book our hog roast in Wigmore
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- How many people are eating
- Distance from us
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Getting an accurate quote
These are the details we need:
- The venue or postcode
- Rough numbers
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We will confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives

- Add dietary questions to the invite

- We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve hot food at the agreed time.
