How it works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Late May in West Itchenor has light until about 8:50pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We pack up calmly.

A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Questions from West Itchenor
Is West Itchenor close to London?
About 59 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like West Itchenor?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Count families and staff too
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
Roast or new potatoes and apple sauce make it a full meal.
