Hornton: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at Church of St John the Baptist?
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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
How far is Hornton from London?
Roughly 70 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Should we warn the neighbours?
Let them know in advance, especially if the roaster is near a fence.
What about kids?
Yes, and tell us how many children are coming, so we get the amounts right.
How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. A summer party in Hornton stays light until about 9:30pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We set up hours ahead.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
How to get a price
It is easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
