Your questions about a hog roast in Warborough
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 follow the site rules.

We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.

What else we do in Warborough
What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Time on site
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
To get the best quote, tell us:
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Any venue rules
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Use our quote form.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it is carved the same way, frequently with mint sauce.
Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. Around midsummer it stays light in Warborough until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening service is typically in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- 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.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
Getting a price
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: send us your details through our quote form.
Planning help
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
Prefer to cook yourself? Ask about DIY machine hire.
Space, access and the venue
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Parking near the spot
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
