A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a restaurant outing, a hog roast keeps everyone on site and saves travel. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book our hog roast in Easton
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

The process
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. In Easton, summer evenings stay light until about 9:25pm, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. In late September, the light goes at about 7:10pm.
- Tell us where, when, how many and when you eat.
- We confirm the site details and send a price.
- The roast starts early on site.
- We serve within your break.
- We pack away and go.
How to prepare
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Common questions in Easton
Which station is closest to Easton?
Winchester station, about 2.4 miles south-west of the centre.
Is Easton too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Can you serve a fixed lunch break?
We plan the roast around your break. Rolls keep service quick.
Can you feed staff and families?
We do. Include visitors in your numbers and we will cater for all.
What about staff who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
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.
Working with your venue
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Space, access and the venue
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- A named contact for the day
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
- Shelter for the team
