Party hog roast for Grendon Underwood
Questions from Grendon Underwood
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Leonard?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How far is Grendon Underwood from London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
Yes, DIY machine hire is available. We will talk you through it when we quote.

How our party hog roast works in Grendon Underwood
Plan where the roaster will go: level ground outdoors, clear of the house and fences. We’ll check it with you. We serve jacket potatoes, rotisserie chicken and crackling, and we are regularly asked to cater garden parties and family reunions.
A country party near Grendon Underwood is perfect for a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Plan shelter in case it rains. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

Parties in Grendon Underwood: homes, halls and local tips
Grendon Underwood is about 6 miles east of Bicester, in Buckinghamshire. Grendon Underwood and the surrounding area are covered for parties. We bring hog roasts to all 263 towns and villages across Buckinghamshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Grendon Underwood to Oxford (about 13 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Claydon House (3.6 miles north-east) and Waddesdon Manor (4 miles south-east). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on caterers, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler.
For parties in HP18, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and roughly how many guests. From Main Street, The Firs and Darley's Close or a nearby road, we will bring the roaster to you. We also bring hog roasts to parties in Edgcott (1 mile north), Ludgershall (2 miles south-west), Piddington (3 miles south-west), Blackthorn (4 miles west) and Brill (5 miles south-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Aylesbury (9 miles south-east), Buckingham (8 miles north), Elmhurst (9 miles south-east), Southcourt (10 miles south-east), Princes Risborough (13 miles south-east) and Haydon Hill (8 miles south-east).
Green spaces nearby include Upper Ray Meadows.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Compared with takeaway pizzas, a hog roast is part of the party, not just the food. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Carved to order by a chef
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Served at the time you choose
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside

Evening parties in Grendon Underwood need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it’s around 7:10pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
