Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Little Heath questions
Could you cook in Calcot Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Is Little Heath close to London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Do December dates go quickly?
Very quickly, so ask early. Midweek dates are easier.
Can you do turkey for a Christmas party?
We can: add turkey to the menu.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
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.
