FAQs for Aylesbury
How far is Aylesbury from London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary?
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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Can you do something else?
We can add alternatives.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Is a week’s notice enough?
We will always try. Tell us the details for a quick answer.
The process
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Autumn and winter afternoons in Aylesbury get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- Share the date, place and rough numbers.
- You get a quick answer on the date, and a quote.
- The roast cooks while the service is under way.
- Food is ready when people arrive.
- We tidy up and leave without fuss.
Preparing for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We clear away discreetly once everyone has eaten.
Plates and sides make it a full meal.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
