Looking after everyone
Some crew won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Post allergen details at base
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We arrive early and set up at base, so the roast is ready by lunch.
Wrap parties can run into the evening.
What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How many people are eating
- Crockery choices
- Site access
- How long the roast and service take
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- An estimate of numbers
- Dietary requirements
- Where the event is
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
Longwick questions
Do you cater at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is Longwick close to London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London.
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 bring everything else.
Do you need much space at base?
At base, on level ground. Locations will confirm the spot.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
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 about a wrap party?
We do.

- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.

What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to grilling to order, carving is quicker for big numbers. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
