Common questions in West Hendred
Is West Hendred close to London?
Roughly 55 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you cater after a service at Church of the Holy Trinity?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can we cook it ourselves?
Yes, DIY machine hire is available. We will talk you through it when we quote.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a party buffet, a hog roast is hot and freshly carved, and nothing sits out all afternoon. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why us?
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests

For planners, venues and organisers
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
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.
What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How many people are eating
- Crockery choices
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Access to the cooking area
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Roughly how many people
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The address or postcode
When you’re weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. Ours lists it clearly. To get yours, use our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Think about children’s portions
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
A cooked roast holds for a while, so just let us know.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

How it works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. A summer party in West Hendred stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- We carve and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Send final numbers in good time
