The menu, dish by dish

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a cold buffet, a warm plated meal is more comforting. The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why us?
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Sides to make it a full meal
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Our staff serve and clear

Other occasions in Amersham
For planners, venues and organisers
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Ask close family about dietary needs
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
We set up quietly and start the roast early, out of the way of arriving guests.
Ask about china.
