FAQs for Swalcliffe
How far is Swalcliffe from London?
About 69 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Swalcliffe?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you serve inside our office or hall?
The roaster stays outside under cover; guests can eat inside.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
We do Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons. Send us the details.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
Lighting at the serving table matters after dark, and we’ll plan it with you.
Lights around the carving station add atmosphere.

Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
The process
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. A lunchtime Christmas party in Swalcliffe is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
- Book early for December.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We tidy up and leave.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
Getting a price
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we will check it: send us your details through our quote form.

What we need to know
When you contact us, please mention:

For event organisers in Swalcliffe
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
