Felcourt questions
Is Felcourt close to London?
Roughly 24 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Felcourt?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Where can you serve a wake?
At home, a hall, a club or a venue, given an outdoor cooking area.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?
We’ll always try. Tell us the details for a quick answer.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you need anything from the family?
Not much: an outdoor cooking spot and someone to meet us.
For planners, venues and organisers
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. In late September, sunset in Felcourt is about 7:05pm; in December, about 3:55pm, so we plan lighting for later gatherings.
- Share the date, place and rough numbers.
- We confirm availability and send a price.
- We set up and roast while you are at the service.
- Food is ready when people arrive.
- We tidy up and leave without fuss.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Send final numbers in good time
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
