What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Questions from Waterend
How far is Waterend from London?
Roughly 35 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue 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.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Is lighting needed?
Yes: the cooking area, serving table and path need lighting after dark. Let us know what lighting the venue has.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a cold buffet, hot food wins in winter. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why Waterend hosts choose us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
See our pricing and the cost guide.
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We arrive in daylight to set up and start roasting, and cook into the evening.
China crockery is available on request.
Before you choose a spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- A short route for our equipment
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
- Clearance from walls and tents
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
