Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
Will people get crackling?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
Is our garden big enough?
Frequently, yes, if there’s a level, open spot away from the house and trees, as long as we can get the equipment in. Send us a picture.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a cold buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. Buffets can sit out for hours. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
