A hog roast or other catering?
Next to grilling to order, one roast serves everyone together. 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, and the quote reflects that.

How the day works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. By late September, sunset near Amersham is about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We pack away straight after.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
