For planners, venues and organisers
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In winter, it is dark in Chicheley by about 3:50pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.

Planning help
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to booking a function room menu, a hog roast at a hall is often simpler. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What you get with us
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
Chicheley: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Lawrence: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you come out to small places like Chicheley?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
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.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- One contact on the day
- Approval from the landlord or committee
- A level outdoor area
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
