Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Let us know roughly how many children
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so it is cooking when guests arrive.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
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.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

FAQs for Great Missenden
What’s the nearest station to Great Missenden?
Great Missenden station, in Great Missenden itself.
Can you cater after a service at Church of Saints Peter and Paul?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you bring a gazebo?
We bring cover for the roaster; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.

We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. By late September, sunset in Great Missenden is about 7:05pm; by December it’s about 3:55pm. Plan lights for the path and the food.
