FAQs for Butler's Cross
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’ll follow the site rules.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do you cover the whole of Buckinghamshire?
Buckinghamshire is part of our area. Ask for a quote.
What meats can we have?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- Access for our equipment, without steps
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. Buffets can sit out for hours. 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 we price a hog roast
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Crockery choices
- The date and time of year
- Travel to Butler's Cross
- Site access
The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Getting an accurate quote
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Dietary requirements
- The address or postcode
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we will check it: fill in our quote form.
How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Around midsummer it stays light in Butler's Cross until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Let us know about tight access
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
