Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in Kingston Blount
How far is Kingston Blount from London?
About 38 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
How quickly can you cater a wake?
Generally. Contact us as soon as you have a date and we’ll tell you quickly.
Can you wait?
We wait: we hold the food until people arrive.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Is there an alternative to pork?
There are chicken, vegetarian and vegan alternatives. We don’t offer halal meat.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
We arrive in good time and roast quietly, out of the way of arriving guests.
Serve on plates with salads and potatoes for a sit-down meal.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A short route for the equipment
- Space inside for guests
- Approval from the landlord or committee
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
From the roaster

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a cold buffet, a warm plated meal is more comforting. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What you get with us
- All the equipment comes with us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
