The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some staff will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Penwood questions
Do you come out to small places like Penwood?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Penwood from London?
Roughly 56 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What about family fun days?
We do. Give us total numbers and we will plan for everyone.
How do we book for a business?
Send your requirements, and the quote will include the terms.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to sandwich platters, hot carved pork feels much more special. Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

Planning help
What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- Crockery choices
- How many people are eating
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The journey to the venue
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Details that help
When you enquire, please mention:
- Your date and serving time
- A picture of the cooking area
- Roughly how many people
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your staff event: fill in our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- A contact on site
- Level hardstanding or lawn
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
