Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in Amersham on the Hill
Is Amersham on the Hill close to London?
About 25 miles from central London.
We are gathering after a service at St. Michael and All Angels: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.

No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Is it a sit-down meal?
Both are possible: rolls for a simple meal, plates with salads and potatoes for a fuller one.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
