What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- Time on site
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The journey to the venue
- Access to the cooking area
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

FAQs for Britwell Salome
Is Britwell Salome close to London?
About 41 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Britwell Salome?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you cook in the kitchen?
In the grounds, never in the kitchen.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Can you carve thinly?
Plates are frequently easier for residents.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
