Questions from Britwell
Is Britwell close to London?
About 23 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you cater?
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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you cover Britwell?
Yes, Britwell is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. Serving inside is fine where allowed.
Organising for someone else?
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs

Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If your venue has an in-house caterer, check whether you can bring in a hog roast. Some venues charge a fee. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
