Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Chinnor
What’s the nearest station to Chinnor?
The closest is Princes Risborough station, roughly 3.1 miles away.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can you sell directly to visitors?
Both models are possible. We will work it out together.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your visitors will want somewhere dry to eat.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Halal isn’t offered
- Make the stall easy to find
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
At the end, we pack down and take our waste.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
