Your questions about a hog roast day in Stoke Lyne
Is Stoke Lyne close to London?
About 56 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Stoke Lyne too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Where will the roaster go?
In the grounds, never in the kitchen.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Can families and staff join in?
Families and staff are welcome.
Do residents have to eat rolls?
We can carve thinly and serve on plates with potatoes and apple sauce.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.

What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- Travel to Stoke Lyne
- Access to the cooking area
- How long the roast and service take
- The date and time of year
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- Any venue rules
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
Send us the date, the address or OX27 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Send us your details through our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
How it works
Here’s how the day typically runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. By late September, the light in Stoke Lyne goes at 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.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Gather dietary requirements early

Planning help
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some residents will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Halal is not offered
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
Carers can help residents choose and carry plates.
Roast or new potatoes and apple sauce make it a full meal.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- A level outdoor area
- Clear of bedroom windows
- Someone to meet us
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
