Bovingdon Green questions
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’ll follow the site rules.
Is Bovingdon Green too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
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.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can you set up at the unit base?
Usually, if there’s a level, open spot for the roaster under cover. We’ll agree it with your location manager.

About the food
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, so it stays hot and juicy.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- Menu choices and extras
- The number of people
- The journey to the venue
- The date and time of year
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Any dietary needs or allergies
