Common questions in Highmoor Cross
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Paul?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Highmoor Cross close to London?
Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Who serves?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Will you clear up afterwards?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: use our quote form.
What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every party is different. What matters most:
- Season and day of the week
- Travel to Highmoor Cross
- Time on site
- Which meats and sides you choose
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Allergies we should know about
- Roughly how many people
- Your date and serving time
- The venue or postcode
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or RG9 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.

What else we do in Highmoor Cross
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to ordering takeaway, a hog roast is part of the party, not just the food. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why book with us
- An itemised quote
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
