Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Whether you want china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The date and time of year
- The number of people
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Details that help
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- An estimate of numbers
- Dietary requirements
- A picture of the cooking area
- Rules from the venue or landowner

Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Post allergen details at base
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Count crew needing an alternative
If lunch moves, we hold the roast a little.
Wrap parties can run into the evening, tell us about lighting at base.
How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Because the roast starts early, and winter daylight in Widmer End ends around 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Tell us the base location.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We cook at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We tidy up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Widmer End: your questions answered
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 follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Widmer End?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What about crew who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- A named contact at base
- Away from vehicles and equipment
- Somewhere for crew to eat if it rains
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
