What happens on the day
Here’s how the day normally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In winter, it is dark in Stonebridge Green by about 3:50pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- It starts with the date, venue and when people are expected.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a simple quote.
- We roast quietly while the service takes place.
- We serve when everyone arrives, calmly and without fuss.
- We clear away discreetly.

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
We dress smartly and keep a low profile.

Common questions in Stonebridge Green
Is Stonebridge Green close to London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St James: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
What if the service runs late?
That is fine: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a cold buffet, a warm plated meal is more comforting. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
