FAQs for Widmer End
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 will follow the site rules.
What’s the nearest station to Widmer End?
The closest is High Wycombe station, roughly 2.6 miles away.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children normally like it too.
What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Autumn and winter afternoons in Widmer End get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- Tell us the date, venue and rough numbers.
- We reply quickly with a price.
- We roast quietly during the service.
- Food is ready as guests gather.
- We clear away discreetly.
