A hog roast near Ewshot
Ewshot questions
Is Ewshot too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater after a service at St Mary's Church?
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. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Funeral wake catering near Ewshot
While you’re at the service, the roast cooks quietly, so food is ready when people arrive. We serve without fuss and clear up quietly. For pub and club wakes and gatherings after scattering ashes, we can cook apple sauce, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken and more.
In a small place like Ewshot, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Let us know about access. Timings are planned around your wake, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
Planners, venues and businesses
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.

- Time on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
