- Our staff serve and clear
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

Your questions about a hog roast day in Moreton
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Moreton?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.

Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.

Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
