Furnace Green questions
We’re gathering after a service at St Andrew's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Furnace Green close to London?
About 28 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Can we add a second roast?
Lamb and chicken are both available alongside the hog.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a wedding barbecue, one roast feeds all your guests together without batches coming off a grill. Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
Why book with us
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Carved to order by a chef
- Our staff serve and clear
- A clear quote with everything listed
See our pricing or the cost guide.
How it works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. For a summer wedding in Furnace Green, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We set up and roast for hours.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Give us a contact number for the day
How to get a price
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the wedding is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.

Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
What the cooking area needs
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Step-free access for our equipment
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Lighting for evening service
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Popular choices
- Hog roast rolls
- Halloumi skewers (V)

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Menu choices and extras
- Numbers
- Whether you want china
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
What to tell us
When you enquire, please mention:
- Rough numbers
- A picture of the cooking area
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The venue or postcode
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. Use our quote form.
Looking after everyone
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
You will not have to think about the food. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
