Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- Numbers
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The journey to the venue
- Plates or china
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The venue or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Dietary requirements
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Send us your details through our quote form.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If the venue has its own caterer, check whether we can cater there. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why us?
- Planned to your running order
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Our staff serve and clear

FAQs for Wycombe Marsh
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.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Anne?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Is there an alternative to pork?
There are chicken, vegetarian and vegan alternatives. We do not offer halal meat.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What if people arrive late?
That’s fine: we hold the food until people arrive.
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 about guests who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Vehicle access near the cooking area
- One contact on the day
- Somewhere indoors for people to eat
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
