Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
FAQs for Cottonworth
Could you cook in Longstock Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come out to small places like Cottonworth?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Do you cater open days with families?
We do. Include visitors in your numbers and we will cater for all.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can you send documents for facilities?
Requirements vary: pass on your list and we will respond.
Can you set up in our car park?
Anywhere suitable and approved, outdoors and under cover.

How we price a hog roast for your team
The price comes down to:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How long the roast and service take
- The journey to the venue
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- Your menu choices
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is
- Allergies we should know about
Every staff event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your staff event for a quote: use our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Space, access and the venue
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
- Approval from facilities for gas equipment
- A named contact for the day
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We set up on the agreed spot, often first thing, and the roast cooks through the morning.
Salads and coleslaw make it a fuller lunch.

- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
