Christmas hog roast in Penn, slow-roasted on site
It is dark before 4pm in December, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. We will need light around the serving area. Typical bookings include festive family get-togethers and boxing Day and New Year gatherings, with rotisserie chicken, roast turkey and roast potatoes.
In a small place like Penn, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.

What else we do in Penn
Penn in December: what to know
Penn is about 2 miles east of High Wycombe, in Buckinghamshire. We cater Christmas parties across Penn and nearby, from gardens to fields. Penn is one of 263 places in Buckinghamshire where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from Penn to Reading (about 18 miles away).
For anyone getting the train home after the party, High Wycombe station is about 2.1 miles away. Christmas fairs at a church such as Church of St Margaret can book a hog roast stall. The Chilterns National Landscape is within about 5 miles of Penn; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.
Christmas parties anywhere in HP10 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and a serving time. Streets in the area include Church Road, Glebelands and Carter Walk, and a Christmas party on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. We also bring hog roasts to Christmas parties in Beacon Hill (1 mile south-east), Loudwater (2 miles south), Forty Green (2 miles south-east), Knotty Green (2 miles south-east) and Winchmore Hill (2 miles north-east). Further out, we also cater in Aylesbury (14 miles north), Chesham (6 miles north-east), Marlow (5 miles south-west), Amersham (5 miles north-east), Beaconsfield (3 miles south-east) and Chalfont St Peter (6 miles east).

- Nearby schools include Sir William Ramsay School (1.2 miles north-west)
- Nearby, you will find The Queens Head Public House (under half a mile north)
What happens on the day
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. With sunset at about 3:55pm in December, most Christmas parties in Penn are after dark. We bring lighting for the cooking area; tell us about lighting on the way to it.

Common questions in Penn
Do you cater at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Penn?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
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.
Can you cater outdoors in December?
Yes, the roast always cooks outdoors under cover. Guests will want somewhere warm and dry to eat.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count who does not eat pork
We arrive in daylight to set up and start roasting, then roast through the afternoon.
Add roast turkey for a traditional Christmas touch.
For event organisers in Penn
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a restaurant Christmas party, you avoid set-menu prices and keep everyone in one place. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What you get with us
- Served at the time you choose
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
