Bucks Green: your questions answered
Do you trade at school fairs around Bucks Green?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Do you come out to small places like Bucks Green?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.

How we price a hog roast for your event
Each price is built from:
- How long the roast and service take
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Distance from us
- How many people are eating
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Allergies we should know about
- What the outdoor space is like
- Rough numbers
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Make the stall easy to find
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
If the ground is soft, we will need a firm route on and off, especially after rain.
Chicken widens the choice.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
