Woburn Sands questions
Can you cater after a service at Church of Saint Michael?
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. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How far is Woburn Sands from London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.

A hog roast or other catering?
