About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.

A hog roast or other catering?
Where residents need modified meals, the kitchen prepares their portions while others enjoy the roast. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
We serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
Chicken can be added.
For event organisers in Britwell
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

How we price a hog roast day
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Numbers
- Time on site
- Crockery choices
- Travel to Britwell
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Details that help
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- The date and time of the event
- An estimate of numbers
When you’re weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. We spell it out in ours. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. Late May in Britwell has light until about 8:55pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
Before we arrive
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
