Orchard Leigh: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at St George's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you cater at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you cover Orchard Leigh?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Orchard Leigh and the rest of Buckinghamshire included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Sunset in Orchard Leigh is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is usually in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the cooking spot, and a quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.

- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
