Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We clear away, even on a cold, wet night.
Add roast potatoes for a festive plate.

Which station is closest to East Garston Woodlands?
The closest is Hungerford station, roughly 4.1 miles away.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.

Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
