Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Henton
Do you cater at venues 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.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of the Holy Trinity: can you cater?
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. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What about kids?
Generally, yes, so we get the amounts right.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Do we need to wash up?
Yes, we clear up after service.
Can we cook it ourselves?
You can hire the machine. We’ll talk you through it when we quote.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel to Henton
- Access to the cooking area
- How long the roast and service take
- How many people are eating
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Where the event is
- Your menu choices
- The date and time of the event
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your party for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.

- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
