Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
- Let us know roughly how many children
Have a word with the neighbours first: the roast cooks for hours, and they may ask for a roll.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.

FAQs for Penn
Is Penn too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.

Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Do you cover Penn?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
How the day works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. A summer party in Penn stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Show us the garden or drive.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- We serve when you are ready.
- We leave the garden tidy.
How to prepare
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
