The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
Name someone in facilities or reception for the day, so we can find you quickly.
If it’s a themed open day, tell us and we will fit in.
Step by step
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your staff, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Open days in Sydenham typically finish in daylight, but in December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so late events need lighting.
- Send us the site, date, numbers and break time.
- We check access and gas rules and quote.
- We set up early and roast through the morning.
- We serve within your break.
- We pack away and go.
Preparing for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Sydenham: your questions answered
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’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Sydenham too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can it be more formal?
It can be dressed up, with plates or china.
Can you feed everyone in a short break?
Yes. We time the roast to be ready and serve quickly. Rolls are the fastest way to serve.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.

Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
