Pond Park questions
Which station is closest to Pond Park?
The closest is Amersham station, roughly 3.1 miles away.
Can you cater after a service at Emmanuel?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Do you cook it or do we?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. We will explain what’s included in each when we quote.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
We roast on site, carve to order and serve, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
Do you travel across Buckinghamshire?
Buckinghamshire is part of our area, including Pond Park. Get in touch for a price.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
How our hog roast hire works in Pond Park
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and alternatives for anyone who doesn’t eat pork. Whether it’s work summer parties and wakes, we’ll put together a menu of crackling, salads and halloumi skewers.
In a smaller place like Pond Park, a hog roast in the garden is often the simplest option: plenty of room, no hire fees and nobody stuck in the kitchen. Tell us about access down the drive or side of the house. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Access for our equipment, without steps
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Parking near the spot
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Planning for dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
The roaster needs looking after for hours, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
China crockery is available on request, at an extra cost.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why us?
- All the equipment comes with us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Crackling for everyone who wants it

A closer look at the menu
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, especially for guests who do not eat pork.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.

Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
How it works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Light matters for a long roast: in Pond Park, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
How to get a price
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.
