Your questions about a hog roast in Great Hollands
We’re gathering after a service at St Michael and St Mary Magdalene's Church: can you cater?
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’ll gather.
How far is Great Hollands from London?
About 30 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Many gardens are big enough, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a photo.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- No surprises: everything in writing
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- A choice of salads and potatoes

How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In Great Hollands, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
