Lower Assendon questions
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 will follow the site rules.
Is Lower Assendon close to London?
Roughly 36 miles from the centre of London.
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 confirm the space with your quote.
Is a hog roast smart enough for clients?
Yes. Add china, sides and a second roast for a more formal feel.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
If the schedule moves, tell us: we can hold the roast for a short time.
A second meat gives the team a choice.
