FAQs for Aston Clinton
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’ll work to whatever the site needs.
We are gathering after a service at St Michael and All Angels Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Do you cater in village halls?
Most places, with an outdoor spot for cooking.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.

What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a cold buffet, roast pork on a plate with potatoes is more filling. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
