Thinking about booking Hog Roast Alton but still hovering over the “maybe later” button? That’s totally fair. We know that choosing a caterer can feel a bit like choosing a dance partner – you want someone who listens, someone who matches your pace and ideally someone who won’t step on your toes! To help you figure out if we’re the right fit, here are a few of the questions we get asked most often (and our honest answers).
Q) How Flexible Are You With Menu Changes?
Short answer: very. Longer answer: we’re pretty much built on flexibility. When you first get in touch, we’ll ask a bunch of questions – not to be nosy, but to figure out what you actually want your event to feel like. Once we know the vibe, we’ll suggest a menu that suits you. But none of our menus are rigid. Think of them more like starting points rather than strict rules – if you want to swap, tweak, add, remove or completely reinvent your spread, go for it!
Need to make a change after booking? Just give us a shout as soon as you can. More notice means a better chance we can sort it for you.
Q) How Is Your Food Served?
We like to think of service style as the outfit your food wears, i.e. it should match the mood. Presentation is a big deal to us (we promise your plate will look camera-ready before you tuck in), and how it reaches you is entirely your call. Most people go for a help-yourself buffet so guests can pile their plates exactly how they like, while opting for table service for starters and desserts. If you’d prefer fully plated meals, roaming canapés, or something super relaxed, Hog Roast Alton’s got trained staff who handle it all smoothly.
Q) Are There Any Extra Charges?
Nope. No sneaky add-ons, no mysterious line items, no “surprise, here’s your bill!” moment. You might have noticed we don’t list prices on the website – that’s because every event is different. Once we know your plan, we’ll give you a FREE quote with everything included. The number you see is the number you pay. Simple, honest, no wincing involved.
If you’re still on the fence, reach out – Hog Roast Alton is always happy to chat food, plans and possibilities!
