Working with your venue
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Step by step
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In summer, Chalfont St Peter has daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden events easy. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- We plan with your manager and kitchen.
- We send a quote.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- We carve thinly and serve on plates.
- We tidy up and go.
How to prepare
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Think about shelter for your residents

Common questions in Chalfont St Peter
What’s the nearest station to Chalfont St Peter?
Gerrards Cross station, about 1.3 miles south of the centre.
Could you cook in Bulstrode Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Where do you cook at a care home?
In the grounds, never in the kitchen and away from opening windows.
Do residents have to eat rolls?
We will serve however suits your residents.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
Compared with a trip out, a hog roast at the home is easier for residents with mobility needs. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why Chalfont St Peter hosts choose us
