Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a normal lunch from the kitchen, a hog roast day feels like an outing without leaving home. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What you get with us
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Carved to order by a chef
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

Allergies and dietary needs
Some residents won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
We clear away quietly.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Site access
- Crockery choices
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

What’s the nearest station to Horsleys Green?
Saunderton station, about 2.6 miles north-east of the centre.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.

DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do you cover Horsleys Green?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Horsleys Green and the rest of Buckinghamshire included. Send us the address for a quote.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Somewhere for residents to eat comfortably
- Flat ground in the grounds
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices

About the food
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
