Questions from Steep Marsh
Can you cater after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How far is Steep Marsh from London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come to Steep Marsh?
Yes, Steep Marsh is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
What meats can we have?
The hog is the centrepiece, but lamb and chicken can be added.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Plates or china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The number of people
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Details that help
To get the best quote, send us:
- An estimate of numbers
- The venue or postcode
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Dietary requirements
Getting a quote is simple: date, place, numbers and serving time. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- Access for our equipment, without steps
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
