What you get with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so tell us if timings change.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.

For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Questions from Lewknor
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 follow the site rules.
How far is Lewknor from London?
About 39 miles from central London.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Is our garden suitable?
Describe the space and the way in, and we’ll give you an honest answer.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What happens on the day
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. For an evening party in Lewknor, think about light: it’s light until about 9:25pm in June but only about 7:10pm in late September. Lights by the food keep the party going.
