Organising for someone else?
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
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.
Stratton Audley questions
How far is Stratton Audley from London?
About 53 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary and St Edburga: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your wake for a quote.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can you wait?
We wait: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. Autumn and winter afternoons in Stratton Audley get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so we plan lighting for later gatherings.
- You tell us the date, the venue, rough numbers and when people will arrive.
- We confirm availability and send a price.
- We roast quietly while the service takes place.
- We serve when everyone arrives, calmly and without fuss.
- We clear away discreetly.
Getting ready for the day
