Bow Brickhill: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Waterhall Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can you serve on plates?
Both are possible: plates with sides or simple rolls.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Somewhere indoors for people to eat
- A contact for the day who isn’t immediate family
- Approval from the landlord or committee
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Keep the alternatives labelled
- Check with family about dietary needs
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
We hold the food if people are delayed.
Add chicken as an alternative.
Working with your venue
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

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. Most wakes in Bow Brickhill are held in the afternoon, so light is rarely a problem, though in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
