Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Roke
Is Roke too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
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 will follow the site rules.
Can you serve at our lunch call?
We work to your schedule, holding the roast if lunch moves.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A contact in production
- Approval from locations
- Away from vehicles and equipment

Organising for someone else?
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Post allergen details at base
- Plan separately for halal if needed
We clear our spot after lunch.
Lamb or chicken gives the crew a choice.
