Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Peter?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
You can have us cook, or hire the machine. We will explain what’s included in each when we quote.

Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.

Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.

Step by step
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Late September evenings in Great Haseley lose the light at about 7:10pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
How to prepare
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Gather dietary requirements early
