FAQs for Edgcott
Is Edgcott too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Edgcott close to London?
About 48 miles from central London, and well within our area.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you cater in village halls?
Wherever the family gathers, with an outdoor spot for cooking.
Can you serve on plates?
Either: plates with sides or simple rolls.
What if people arrive late?
We wait: we hold the food until people arrive.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.

How it works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. Late-December sunset in Edgcott is about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:25pm.

What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- Numbers
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Distance from us
- Which meats and sides you choose
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and time of the event
- Anything the venue has asked for
- A picture of the cooking area
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Fill in our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Keep the alternatives labelled
Name a friend or relative as our contact, so the family can focus on guests.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a cold buffet, roast pork on a plate with potatoes is more filling. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
