Bledlow Ridge: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Paul?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Bledlow Ridge too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you serve rolls or plates?
Both are possible: plates with sides or simple rolls.
How quickly can you cater a wake?
We will always try. Send the date and venue for a quick answer.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.

Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Vehicle access near the cooking area
- Space inside for guests
- A level outdoor area
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We arrive in good time and roast quietly, well away from the entrance.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
