Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

Chalfont Common questions
What’s the nearest station to Chalfont Common?
Gerrards Cross station, about 2.2 miles south of the centre.
Can you cater after a service at St Paul's?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do we need a big space?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Tell us about the garden and we’ll advise.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
What meats can we have?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. Vegetarian and vegan options are available too.

Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Evenings in Chalfont Common stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it is dark, we need light at the carving station.

Is a hog roast right for your event?

What you get with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Planned to your running order

Organising for someone else?

If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
