Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a cold buffet, roast pork on a plate with potatoes is more filling. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why us?
- Carved to order by a chef
- Our staff serve and clear
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Planned to your running order

Common questions in Wingrave
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Wingrave?
The closest is Cheddington station, roughly 3.4 miles away.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Can you serve on plates?
Either: rolls for a simple meal, plates with salads and potatoes for a fuller one.
Where the roaster can go in Wingrave
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Flat ground outside the hall or house
- One contact on the day
- Permission from the hall or venue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
