Questions from Oakley
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 follow the site rules.
Which station is closest to Oakley?
Princes Risborough station, about 3.5 miles east of the centre.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling go down well after dancing.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
What if things run late?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.

The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance from us
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether you want china
- The number of people
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What we need to know
To get the best quote, send us:
- Your date and serving time
- Your menu choices
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Rough numbers
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: use our quote form.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Just keep us informed.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
How the day works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Golden-hour photos in Oakley at midsummer come around 9:25pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
