Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us if timings change.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- A spot well away from the house
- A wet-weather plan for guests
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

What affects the price in Great Hampden
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long the roast and service take
- Season and day of the week
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Crockery choices
The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.

Great Hampden questions
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 work to whatever the site needs.
Is Great Hampden close to London?
About 32 miles from central London.
What about kids?
Yes, and tell us how many children are coming, so we get the amounts right.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
Yes, DIY machine hire is available. We will talk you through it when we quote.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
The process
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away.

Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
