Why choose a hog roast in Hardwick?
Compared with a cold buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why us?
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Our staff serve and clear
- Fresh carving at the serving station

FAQs for Hardwick
Is Hardwick close to London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
What meats can we have?
It is built around the hog, with lamb and chicken as extras.
Do you come to Hardwick?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Hardwick and the rest of Buckinghamshire included. Send us the address for a quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.

Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
Let us know if the day runs late: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
Organising for someone else?
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Season and day of the week
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How many people are eating
- Time on site
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The address or postcode
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: send us your details through our quote form.
