Is Hunt's Green close to London?
Roughly 30 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cater after a service at Old Church of St John the Baptist?
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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.

How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.

Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Can you serve on plates?
Either: plates with sides or simple rolls.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
Yes, add chicken or a vegetarian option.
What affects the price in Hunt's Green
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The journey to the venue
- Site access
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Crockery choices
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
To get the best quote, tell us:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Which meats and sides you’d like

A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Use our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Ask close family about dietary needs
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We arrive in good time and roast quietly, out of the way of arriving guests.
Rotisserie chicken is a good alternative for those who do not eat pork.
How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. Wakes in Hunt's Green are generally in the afternoon, which is daylight for most of the year, though in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
