Britwell Salome: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast at a venue 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 Britwell Salome close to London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can you do a school fair?
Yes, if the school agrees. Send us the details.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some visitors won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Make the stall easy to find
- Halal is not offered
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Balance the food line-up
We serve as the queue moves.
Chicken widens the choice.
Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- The journey to the venue
- Time on site
- Access to the cooking area
- Crockery choices
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.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Roughly how many people
- The address or postcode
- Your date and serving time
- What the outdoor space is like
Every event is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your event: send us your details through our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
