Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Hedgerley
We’re gathering after a service at Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin: 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. Send us the address.
How far is Hedgerley from London?
About 22 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Party hog roast in Hedgerley, carved to order

Country parties near Hedgerley suit a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Think about children’s portions
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
Make sure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- A heads-up for next door
- A step-free way into the garden
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Access to the cooking area
- The number of people
- The date and time of year
- Crockery choices
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What we need to know
When you enquire, please mention:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Your menu choices
- An estimate of numbers
- Anything the venue has asked for
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Use our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.

Step by step
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. At midsummer, it is light in Hedgerley until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Send us your party date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the cooking spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- When it’s time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear up and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
