Party hog roast in Botley, carved to order
Birthdays, christenings and summer parties in Botley suit a hog roast: hearty food that feeds everyone at once. We serve and tidy up. For engagement celebrations and street parties, we will put together a menu of a vegan burger or sausage, coleslaw and apple sauce.
In a small place like Botley, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. The hog is roasted on site at your party, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

The process
Your timings come first. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. A summer party in Botley stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- When it’s time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
Before we arrive
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then tidy up.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
Working with your venue
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with cooking for everyone yourself, you get to enjoy the party. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Timed around your day

DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
What affects the price in Botley
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How many people are eating
- Access to the cooking area
- Plates or china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Botley parties: what to know
Botley is about 1 mile east of Chesham, in Buckinghamshire. We take a hog roast for your party to gardens, car parks, yards and venues around Botley. We cover 263 places across Buckinghamshire. Our bookings stretch from Botley to Milton Keynes (about 24 miles away).
Within reach of Botley are historic houses such as Chenies Manor House (3.1 miles south-east) and Cholesbury Manor House (4.5 miles north-west). For most parties, a garden or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict catering rules. Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as St George's Church, with a hog roast at home or in a hall afterwards. The Chilterns National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Botley, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.
Parties anywhere in HP5 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and a serving time. That could mean a party in a garden on Botley Road, Broomstick Lane and Goose Acre or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook. If your venue is just outside Botley, we also cover Tyler's Hill (1 mile south), Ley Hill (1 mile east), Lye Green (1 mile north), Orchard Leigh (1 mile north) and Ashley Green (2 miles north). Further out, we also cater in Aylesbury (13 miles north-west), High Wycombe (9 miles south-west), Marlow (13 miles south-west), Amersham (3 miles south-west), Beaconsfield (8 miles south-west) and Chalfont St Peter (7 miles south).
Nearby you’ll also find Amersham Hospital (3.7 miles south-west) and Hawridge Court (3.1 miles north-west). Within reach you’ll find Sands Bank.
- Schools near Botley include Chesham Grammar School (0.9 miles west)
- Nearby, you’ll find The Crown pub (under half a mile east)
What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Questions from Botley
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’ll follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Botley?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: use our quote form.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
