Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Flat ground in the grounds
- Away from opening windows
- Clear of ambulance and delivery access
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Your questions about a hog roast day in Burghclere Common
How far is Burghclere Common from London?
Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Burghclere Common?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do you provide allergen information?
You will get allergen details for everything. Stuffing usually contains gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.

Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In summer, Burghclere Common has daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden events easy. In December, with dark by about 4:00pm, lunchtime is best.
