Stanton Harcourt questions
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Michael?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How far is Stanton Harcourt from London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
Give us your venue coordinator’s details, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
