- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Planned to your running order
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Carved to order by a chef
See our prices page and what a hog roast costs.
The process
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. By late September, the light in Lambourn goes at about 7:10pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Gather dietary requirements early
