Allergies and dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
We will sign in and follow site rules, and keep vehicles where you ask.

Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Donkey Town
Do you come out to small places like Donkey Town?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Donkey Town?
The closest is Bagshot station, roughly 2.3 miles away.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Can you feed staff and families?
Open days are a great fit, with alternatives for everyone.
Can it be more formal?
With china and sides, it works well for clients.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.

We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Plates or china
- Season and day of the week
- The journey to the venue
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
What we need to know
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- The date and time of the event
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the event is
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or GU24 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

What happens on the day
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. Daytime open days in Donkey Town are rarely affected by light, though in winter it is dark by about 3:55pm, so late events need lighting.

- You get a check on the date and the site, and a quote.
- On the day we set up and roast through the morning.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve to your timings.
