The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Chicheley: your questions answered
Is Chicheley too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Lawrence?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you cook it or do we?
Both are available: fully catered, where we roast, carve and serve, or DIY machine hire. Most people choose catering.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.

What else we do in Chicheley
Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In Chicheley, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.

Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
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.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast.
