What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

- Rough numbers
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- A photo of the cooking area

Great Tew questions
How far is Great Tew from London?
About 65 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Great Tew?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is it too cold for a hog roast?
We roast outdoors whatever the season. Guests will want somewhere warm and dry to eat.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you cover Great Tew?
Yes, Great Tew is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast copes much better with the cold. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Timed around your day
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
Take a look at our pricing and our hog roast cost guide.
What happens on the day
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. A lunchtime Christmas party in Great Tew is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Book early for December.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We clear the serving area and go.
How to prepare
