Questions from Chinnor
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 work to whatever the site needs.
Is Chinnor close to London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Where do you set up on a shoot?
Not much: a level area at base.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
About the food
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which works well for larger groups.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
The process
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Summer shoots near Chinnor have light until about 9:25pm, which suits an evening wrap at base.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Send final numbers in good time
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
