What else we do in Denton
How the day works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. In December, it is dark in Denton by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- Ask early for a December date.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We tidy up and leave.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

FAQs for Denton
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Denton from London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Is there a non-pork option?
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.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Full catering or machine hire?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
