Common questions in Great Holcombe
Do you come out to small places like Great Holcombe?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
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 will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
Yes, DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Why choose party hog roast in Great Holcombe?
There is very little washing up, because we bring plates and clear away.
However big or small the event in Great Holcombe, a hog roast feeds a crowd well. Bookings frequently include:

Among the historic houses close to Great Holcombe are Garsington Manor (3.8 miles north-west) and Clifton Hampden Manor (3.8 miles west). If you are hiring a historic venue for a big birthday, check its rules on outside caterers first.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the roast takes and when they’ll arrive
- When payments are due and what happens if plans change
- How many staff will carve and serve
- Whether VAT is included
Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

Planning help
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
What we serve
- Crackling
- Hog roast rolls
- Jacket potatoes
- Halloumi skewers (V)

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- The date and time of year
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Numbers
- Access to the cooking area
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
A cooked roast holds for a while, so just let us know.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
