Akeley questions
Is Akeley close to London?
About 52 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary (Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary): can you cater?
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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do we need to wash up?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
Do you bring a gazebo?
We bring cover for the roaster; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Numbers
- Travel to Akeley
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
When you enquire, please mention:
- Your menu choices
- What the outdoor space is like
- Your date and serving time
- Anything the venue has asked for
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Use our quote form.
For event organisers in Akeley
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
At food time, we carve and serve, then clear up the serving area.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.
