Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Questions from Maynard's Green
Can you cater after a service at Christ Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
How far is Maynard's Green from London?
About 41 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can we offer lamb too?
Yes, spit-roast lamb can go alongside the pork.
Step by step
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Golden-hour photos in Maynard's Green at midsummer come around 9:15pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:00pm.

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing normally contains gluten.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
For event organisers in Maynard's Green
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
