About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
What affects the price in Upper Bucklebury
There’s no fixed price list, because every staff event is different. The main factors are:
- Travel to Upper Bucklebury
- The number of people
- The date and time of year
- Which meats and sides you choose
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know

- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any venue rules

Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
We follow your site’s sign-in and safety rules.
Add sides for a bigger lunch.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
