Questions from Caldecote

Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like Caldecote?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Is lighting needed?
It gets dark early, so we plan lighting with you.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Christmas parties in Caldecote are almost always after dark: sunset is about 3:55pm in December. The cooking area is lit; tell us about lighting on the way to it.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Request gluten-free rolls
At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.

If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover

- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
