Questions from Farleigh Wallop
Do you come out to small places like Farleigh Wallop?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St. Andrew: 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.
Do you cover Farleigh Wallop?
Yes, Farleigh Wallop is in our area. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
The hog is the centrepiece, with lamb and chicken as extras.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
Either: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Catering is the most popular choice.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why Farleigh Wallop hosts choose us
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Timed around your day
See our pricing and the cost guide.
Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Site access
- How many people are eating
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
