Common questions in Penn
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 work to whatever the site needs.
What’s the nearest station to Penn?
High Wycombe station, about 2.1 miles west of the centre.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do you do fêtes?
Yes, fêtes are a natural fit. Tell us the date, pitch and how food will be paid for.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
For event organisers in Penn
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
A hog roast or other catering?
At large shows, tell us expected numbers. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

How it works
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. In late May, sunset in Penn is about 8:55pm, while at midsummer it is about 9:25pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:

How we price a hog roast for your event
There is no fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Numbers
- Access to the cooking area
- The journey to the venue
- How long the roast and service take
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The address or postcode
- What the outdoor space is like
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Your menu choices

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
