Common questions in Orchard Leigh
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’ll follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Orchard Leigh?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Is electricity needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so no mains power is needed to cook. Power helps for lighting.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Balance the food line-up
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
Give us a contact on the day, especially for big events.

- How long the roast and service take
- The number of people
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.

Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Which meats and sides you’d like

Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
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.
