- We reply quickly with a price.
- We roast quietly during the service.
- Food is ready as guests gather.
- We clear away discreetly.
How to prepare

Planning help
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a venue’s set menu, a hog roast at a hall is often simpler. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why book with us
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- A choice of salads and potatoes

Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in Wigginton
We are gathering after a service at Church of Saint Giles: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Wigginton close to London?
Roughly 67 miles from the centre of London.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Can you do something else?
We can add alternatives for those who need them.
Can you cater in Wigginton?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Wigginton and Oxfordshire. Send us the address for a quote.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
We arrive in good time and roast quietly, out of the way of arriving guests.
If there was a favourite dish from our menu, tell us.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How long the roast and service take
- The number of people
- Whether you want china
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- A picture of the cooking area
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat

Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is included
- How dietary needs are handled
- When they arrive and when the food will be ready
- What the price includes, item by item
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A hall or room for eating
- Approval from the landlord or committee
- Clearance from walls and branches
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
