Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a venue’s set menu, a hog roast at home or a hall can be simpler and better value. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why us?
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Timed around your day
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in Hill End
Can you cater after a service at Harefield Baptist Church?
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. Tell us where you’ll gather.

The closest is Rickmansworth station, roughly 1.9 miles away.
What if people arrive late?
Name someone we can call and we will serve when everyone is there.

How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Is it a sit-down meal?
Either: rolls for a simple meal, plates with salads and potatoes for a fuller one.
Can you cater at home?
Homes, halls, clubs and venues, given an outdoor cooking area.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
