DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan guests can have a vegan burger or sausage, so everyone has something hot.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Where the roaster can go in Waddesdon
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
- A heads-up for next door
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do you clear up?

What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
Do you bring a gazebo?
We cover the cooking area, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
Do you come to Waddesdon?
