Planners, venues and businesses
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Why choose a hog roast in Ewelme?
Full catering or machine hire? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. For bigger events, catering is normally the easier choice. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Carved to order by a chef
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Our staff serve and clear

Ewelme questions
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.
Is Ewelme too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cover Ewelme?
We do. Send us the address and we will check the date.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
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 usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Is it just pork?
The hog is the centrepiece, with lamb and chicken as extras.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
The roaster needs looking after for hours, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
