FAQs for Catmore
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
How far is Catmore from London?
Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London.
Do you need lighting?
Yes: the cooking area, serving table and path need lighting after dark. Tell us what’s already there and we will plan the rest with you.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
What about Christmas markets?
We do. Hot rolls on a cold evening sell well.
When should we book our Christmas party?
The earlier the better. Midweek dates are easier.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We arrive in daylight to set up and start roasting, then roast through the afternoon.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
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. It rests for a short while before carving. By about 4:00pm in late December, Catmore is dark. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights.

Planning help
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Indoor space for eating
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
- A level spot outdoors with lighting nearby
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
