Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- 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
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then tidy up.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.

What affects the price in Dorney
Here’s what affects the price:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How long the roast and service take
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- Any venue rules
- Rough numbers
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Use our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
How the day works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. A summer party in Dorney stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We set up hours ahead.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Name a contact for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Dorney questions
Could you cook in Sutherland Grange?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Dorney?
The closest is Burnham station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your party for a 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 will confirm the space with your quote.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
What about the neighbours?
Let them know in advance.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
