Planning for dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us about delays.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal, quoted separately.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

Long Crendon questions
Which station is closest to Long Crendon?
Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, about 2.3 miles east of the centre.
How far is Long Crendon from London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you do Christmas fairs?
We do. Hot food is always popular at winter fairs.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Do hog roasts work in winter?
Winter is a great time for a hog roast, as long as guests have shelter.
How early should we book for Christmas?
As early as possible, especially for Fridays and Saturdays. Ask as soon as you know your date.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Other occasions in Long Crendon
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
What happens on the day
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. Christmas parties in Long Crendon are almost always after dark: sunset is about 3:55pm in December. We bring lighting for the cooking area; tell us about lighting on the way to it.
