Questions from Great Holcombe
Do you come out to small places like Great Holcombe?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is Great Holcombe close to London?
About 45 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What about family fun days?
Yes, a hog roast suits open days, with chicken and vegetarian options for visitors.
How does payment work for businesses?
Get in touch with your details, and we will set out the terms with your quote.
Can you send documents for facilities?
Requirements vary: pass on your list and we will respond.
Do you come to Great Holcombe?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Great Holcombe and the rest of Oxfordshire included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, served in a roll with salads.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll.

Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, then roast through the morning.
Tell us about branding or theming for open days and we will fit in.
Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. For a staff lunch in Great Holcombe, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.

- We check site access and send a price.
- We arrive in good time and start the roast under cover.
- We serve quickly within your break.
- Afterwards we clear up and go.
