Your questions about a hog roast day in Shipton Green
How far is Shipton Green from London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London.
Can you roast near the sea around Shipton Green?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you come to Shipton Green?
Yes, Shipton Green is in our area. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Flat ground in the grounds
- A named contact on the day
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

What happens on the day
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In Shipton Green, December daylight ends around 4:00pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
