Party hog roast in Bourne End
Bourne End questions
We’re gathering after a service at St Mark: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Bourne End close to London?
Roughly 27 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do you bring a gazebo?
We cover the cooking area, but plan somewhere dry for guests.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do we need to wash up?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.

Step by step
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. For an evening party in Bourne End, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:05pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
