FAQs for Coleshill
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Which station is closest to Coleshill?
Amersham station, about 2 miles north-east of the centre.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do you need anything from the family?
Very little: the space and a contact.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?
Often, yes. Contact us as soon as you have a date and we will tell you quickly.

About the food

Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, because every wake is different. The main factors are:
- Time on site
- Distance from us
- Crockery choices
- Menu choices and extras
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Any venue rules
- What the outdoor space is like
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your wake for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives

- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
We serve when people arrive, calmly and without fuss.

Where the roaster can go in Coleshill
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A hall or room for eating
- A safe distance from the hall

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
