Your questions about a hog roast in Quainton
Which station is closest to Quainton?

Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
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. We don’t offer halal meat.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a cold buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. Buffets can sit out for hours. Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why us?
- Sides to make it a full meal
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Access for our equipment, without steps
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Popular choices
- Coleslaw
- Apple sauce
- New potatoes
- Stuffing
- Spit-roast lamb
- Rotisserie chicken
- Hog roast rolls
- Salads
- Roast or jacket potatoes
- Halloumi skewers (V)

Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
Let us know if the day runs late: we can hold the roast for a while.

Step by step
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Around midsummer it stays light in Quainton until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is generally in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
