How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. By late September, the light in Wallingford goes at about 7:10pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

Your questions about a hog roast day in Wallingford
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Could you cook in Kinecroft?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Can you carve thinly?
Plates with thin slices are easy to arrange.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your care home event for a quote.
Working with your venue
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
