For planners, venues and organisers
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Plates or china
- The journey to the venue
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- An estimate of numbers
- Your menu choices
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Send us your details through our quote form.

Common questions in North Stoke
Is North Stoke close to London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
We are gathering after a service at St Mary the Virgin: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?
We do our best at short notice. Tell us the details and we will reply promptly.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your wake for a quote.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Ask close family about dietary needs
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
We arrive in good time and roast quietly, out of the way of arriving guests.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
