What else we do in Oakshott
Oakshott: your questions answered
How far is Oakshott from London?
About 48 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
We pack up whatever the weather.
Add roast potatoes for a festive plate.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
For a Christmas fair, hot pork rolls are always popular. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
