Booker events: pitches and permissions
Booker is about 2 miles west of High Wycombe, in Buckinghamshire. We’re happy to travel to Booker for events. Booker is one of 263 towns and villages in Buckinghamshire we cover. Our bookings stretch from Booker to Reading (14 miles away).
For anyone arriving by train, High Wycombe station, about 2.1 miles east, is the nearest station. For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as Church of Christ the Servant King, a hog roast adds hot food to the cakes and tombola. Within about 6 miles is the Chilterns National Landscape, where events may have extra rules on cooking and waste; we’ll follow the site’s requirements.
For events in HP12, HP11 and SL7, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and roughly how many visitors. That could mean an event in a garden on Ash Road, New Road and Horns Lane, wherever there’s an outdoor spot for the roaster. We also bring hog roasts to events in Clayhill (1 mile south-west), High Wycombe (2 miles east), Downley (2 miles north), Terriers (3 miles north-east) and Totteridge (3 miles east). We also serve nearby towns such as Aylesbury (14 miles north), Chesham (10 miles north-east), Marlow (3 miles south), Amersham (9 miles north-east), Beaconsfield (6 miles east) and Chalfont St Peter (10 miles east).
Well-known places in the area include High Wycombe Castle (1.9 miles north-east) and Eden (1.6 miles north-east). Open spaces near Booker include Gomm's Wood.
- Schools near Booker include Cressex Community School (less than half a mile south-east)
- Nearby, you will find The Squirrel pub (less than half a mile west)
- Other local spots include West Wycombe Rural (2.4 miles north-west)

Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Remember stuffing generally contains gluten
If the ground is soft, we’ll need a firm route on and off, particularly in wet weather.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Summer events in Booker have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Give us a contact number for the day

Planning help
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a burger van, a hog roast stands out at a traditional fête. The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us
- Planned to your running order
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

Booker: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Booker?
High Wycombe station, about 2.1 miles east of the centre.
How far is Booker from London?
Roughly 31 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do you trade at village fêtes?
A hog roast suits a fête perfectly. Contact us.
Is it pay as you go?
Some events pay for a package, others want a stall. We’ll agree what suits yours.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
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.
Can you do a school fair?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch.
About the food
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll, just as they should.
What a hog roast costs
The price comes down to:
- Site access
- Menu choices and extras
- How long the roast and service take
- Whether you want china
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
Getting an accurate quote
These are the details we need:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Rough numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is

What your quote should include
- Whether VAT is included
- When payments are due and what happens if plans change
- Where the roaster goes and what it needs
- How long the roast takes and when they’ll arrive
Should I cook it myself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
