How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.

It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Do you come to Mundy Bois?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Mundy Bois and Kent. Send us the address for a quote.

A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask close family about dietary needs
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
Food is served as everyone gathers, calmly and without fuss.
China crockery is available on request.
For planners, venues and organisers
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
How the day works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. In winter, it is dark in Mundy Bois by about 3:50pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- Contact us as soon as you have a date.
- We check the cooking spot with the venue.
- We set up and roast on the day.
- We serve quietly.
- We leave the venue tidy.
How to prepare
