Book a hog roast in Ford

Step by step

We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. A summer party in Ford stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

  1. Send us your party date, address, numbers and serving time.
  2. You get a check on the date and the cooking spot, and a quote.
  3. On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
  4. We carve and serve at the agreed time.
  5. We pack away and leave the garden tidy.

Getting ready for the day

  • Give us a contact number for the day
  • Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
  • Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Ford: your questions answered

How far is Ford from London?

About 39 miles from central London, and well within our area.

Do you cater at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.

What’s the price?

Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your party for a quote.

Can you be flexible on serving time?

Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.

Do we need to wash up?

We bring plates and clear up after service.

Should we warn the neighbours?

Let them know in advance.

What if it rains?

We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.

Do you cover Ford?

Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Ford and Buckinghamshire. Send us the address for a quote.

Why choose a hog roast in Ford?

DIY or catered? DIY suits confident cooks and relaxed parties; catering suits bigger or more important parties. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Why book our hog roast in Ford

  • Cooked on the day, low and slow
  • No surprises: everything in writing
  • Carved by our chef in front of your guests

Choosing a hog roast caterer

Should I cook it myself?

DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

What a hog roast costs

The price comes down to:

  • Menu choices and extras
  • Crockery choices
  • Access to the cooking area
  • Numbers

Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.

Details that help

These are the details we need:

  • Roughly how many people
  • Your menu choices
  • Any venue rules
  • Allergies we should know about

Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: send us your details through our quote form.
