About our party hog roast in Datchet
Party food needs to be easy to eat, and pork rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling are just that. Alternatives cover anyone who does not eat pork. For 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays and christenings and naming days, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, a vegan burger or sausage and hog roast rolls.
For a party in Datchet, home is frequently the best venue. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we will bring everything else. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
What affects the price in Datchet
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Time on site
- Site access
- Season and day of the week
- Whether you want china
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Your date and serving time
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Where the event is
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we will check it: fill in our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
- Think about children’s portions
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then clear up the serving area.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
Step by step
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. For an evening party in Datchet, think about light: it’s light until about 9:25pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.

A hog roast or other catering?
