Common questions in Emmington
Do you come out to small places like Emmington?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.

The closest is Princes Risborough station, roughly 3.8 miles away.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Do we need to wash up?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.

We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.

How we price a hog roast for your party
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Whether you want china
- Menu choices and extras
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Distance from us
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
