Questions from Postcombe
Is Postcombe too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
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.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Can visitors eat too?
Of course: include them in your numbers.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
Do you provide allergen information?
We provide full allergen information for every dish. Stuffing usually contains gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.

Step by step
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. Late May in Postcombe has light until about 8:55pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Gather dietary requirements early
How to get a price
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: send us your details through our quote form.

For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

What affects the price in Postcombe
Your quote depends on:
- Time on site
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Travel to Postcombe
- How many people are eating
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Roughly how many people
- Rules from the venue or landowner
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or OX9 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Fill in our quote form.
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.

A hog roast compared with other options
Instead of organising a trip, a hog roast at the home is easier for residents with mobility needs. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
