Common questions in Loosley Row
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St John the Evangelist?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Can you work around our timings?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
Is a week’s notice enough?
Typically. Contact us as soon as you have a date and we will answer right away.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
