Pyrton: your questions answered
Is Pyrton close to London?
About 41 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do we need cover?
We bring cover for the roaster; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Should we warn the neighbours?
Give them a heads-up, especially if the roaster is near a fence.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
Yes, for confident cooks. Catering is the easier option.
Working with your venue
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
Events we cater in Pyrton
Children usually love it, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussier eaters.
We are regularly asked to cater all sorts of events around Pyrton, including:
- Retirement parties
- Family reunions
- Back-garden get-togethers
- Getting-engaged parties
Nearby historic houses include Adwell House (2.5 miles north). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on caterers, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler.

- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.

Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A heads-up for next door
- A step-free way into the garden
- A spot well away from the house
