Horsenden: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Horsenden?
Princes Risborough station, in Horsenden itself.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Michael and All Angels: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
How quickly can you cater a wake?
We will always try. Send the date and venue and we’ll reply promptly.

A hog roast or other catering?
If the hall or pub provides food, check whether we can cater there. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

The process
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In late September, sunset in Horsenden is about 7:05pm; in December, about 3:55pm, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- Share the date, place and rough numbers.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a simple quote.
- We roast quietly while the service takes place.
- We serve when everyone arrives, calmly and without fuss.
- We tidy up and leave without fuss.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
