Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

Childrey questions
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Childrey?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Where on site can you cook?
A car park, yard or grounds generally works, given level ground and clearance.
Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A covered area or canteen for wet weather
- Level hardstanding or lawn
- Somewhere to park our vehicle
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

For event organisers in Childrey
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.

Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Compared with a restaurant outing, a hog roast keeps everyone on site and saves travel. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
