A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, your staff can focus on residents. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Buscot questions
Is Buscot too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Buscot from London?
Roughly 69 miles from the centre of London.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What about residents who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Can you serve on plates?
We can carve thinly and serve on plates with potatoes and apple sauce.
What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll, just as they should.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
We can serve inside or out, as you prefer.
Roast or new potatoes and apple sauce make it a full meal.

Working with your venue
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
What happens on the day
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Late-September sunset in Buscot is about 7:10pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Let us know about tight access
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
