For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A level outdoor area
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms

Aston Rowant questions
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Aston Rowant?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can residents with swallowing difficulties have the hog roast?
Modified textures are best done by the home; we will work alongside your kitchen.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your residents will want somewhere dry to eat.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In late May, sunset in Aston Rowant is about 8:55pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.

- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
