FAQs for East Hendred
Do you cater at venues 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.
Is East Hendred too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
What paperwork do you provide for our site?
Tell us what your site asks for, and we will confirm what we can provide.
Where on site can you cook?
Most car parks and yards are fine, if there’s a level spot away from buildings and vehicles.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Someone to meet us at reception
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
We set up on the agreed spot, frequently first thing, then roast through the morning.
