FAQs for Great Holcombe
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 follow the site rules.
Is Great Holcombe close to London?
About 45 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What paperwork do you provide?
Requirements vary. Share your list and we’ll respond.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you do fêtes?
Yes, fêtes are a natural fit. Tell us the date, pitch and how food will be paid for.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.

About the food
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Planning the cooking spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
- Any paperwork the organisers need
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
What we serve
- Crackling
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Stuffing and apple sauce

- Distance from us
- Access to the cooking area
- Season and day of the week
- Crockery choices
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.

- The address or postcode
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Any venue rules
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
