Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork
- Keep the alternatives labelled
Name a friend or relative as our contact, so the family can focus on guests.

Funeral wake catering near Ingrams Green

Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- Crockery choices
- How long the roast and service take
- Site access
- The journey to the venue
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Questions from Ingrams Green
Is Ingrams Green 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.

About 47 miles from central London.
Can you do something else?
Chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Halal is not available.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
What should we provide?
Not much: an outdoor cooking spot and someone to meet us.

We do our best at short notice. Send the date and venue for a quick answer.
What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Summer evenings in Ingrams Green stay light until about 9:20pm, so people can spill into the garden.
