DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
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.

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.

Common questions in Ellesborough
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.
Is Ellesborough too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What paperwork do you provide for our site?
Requirements vary: pass on your list and we will respond.
Do we need our own staff?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can you set up in our car park?
Anywhere suitable and approved, as long as it is outdoors.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Where the roaster can go in Ellesborough
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Approval from facilities for gas equipment
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
