For event organisers in Parslow's Hillock
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
How we price a hog roast for the wake
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:

Questions from Parslow's Hillock
Do you cater at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Parslow's Hillock too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do you need anything from the family?
Very little: the space and a contact.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
