Abbots Worthy: your questions answered
Is Abbots Worthy too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Abbots Worthy from London?
About 59 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Do you cater open days with families?
Open days are a great fit, with chicken and vegetarian options for visitors.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some staff won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
If the schedule moves, tell us: we can hold the roast for a short time.
Add rotisserie chicken or lamb for choice.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
