Common questions in West Ilsley
Is West Ilsley too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is West Ilsley close to London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
Can we have roast turkey?
Yes: turkey and pork together suit most Christmas parties.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us about delays.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
The process
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In West Ilsley, December daylight ends around 4:00pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.

Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
