Questions from Basted
Is Basted 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.
Can you do a hog roast in Ivy Hatch Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Do you need a car park?
Wherever your facilities team agrees, outdoors and under cover.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Can you send documents for facilities?
Let us know your site’s requirements, and we’ll tell you what we can send.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
If the schedule moves, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
Add rotisserie chicken or lamb for choice.
Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
