Hog roast catering in HP5: local guide
There are 3 towns and 12 villages and hamlets in HP5, so whether your event is in Chesham, Pond Park and Chesham Bois or a quiet village, the approach is the same: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan. Parts of HP5 are within a few miles of the Chilterns National Landscape, where some venues have extra rules about cooking and vehicles.
Chesham: For a christening or gathering after a service at a church such as Emmanuel, the roaster can be set up at a hall or home nearby. Nearby historic houses include Cholesbury Manor House (3.5 miles north-west) and Chenies Manor House (4.3 miles south-east). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for caterers, so check before booking. In Chesham, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
Name someone to meet us, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
China crockery is available on request, at an extra cost.
What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there is a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.
Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- Access for our equipment, without steps
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
Organising for someone else?
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what affects the price:
- Whether you want china
- The journey to the venue
- Site access
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- An estimate of numbers
- The address or postcode
- Your menu choices
- Anything the venue has asked for
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Fill in our quote form.
