Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in Broughton
How far is Broughton from London?
About 46 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
We’re gathering after a service at St Lawrence's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
Do you need anything from the family?
Only the place, numbers and a contact. We bring everything else.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can you serve on plates?
We serve on plates, with china as an option.
Can you cater in Broughton?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Broughton and Milton Keynes. Send us the address for a quote.

Planning help
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Check with family about dietary needs
One contact for the day helps, so the immediate family isn’t disturbed.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to booking a function room menu, a hog roast at a hall is often simpler. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
