Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether you want china
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- How many people are eating
- Season and day of the week
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Your menu choices
- Where the event is
- What the outdoor space is like

Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
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.
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day generally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Evenings in Chalgrove stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good 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
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Questions from Chalgrove
How far is Chalgrove from London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
Is crackling included?
Of course: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
How do we prepare?
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?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
