The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.

Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed

Common questions in Chesham Bois
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’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Chesham Bois from London?
About 25 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can you do soft food?
Modified meals should come from your kitchen. We will share allergen and menu details.
