For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, for the alternatives
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
Name someone in facilities or reception for the day.
If it is a themed open day, tell us and we will fit in.
The process
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your staff event. For a staff lunch in Henhurst, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- You send us the site address, date, numbers and serving window.
- You get a check on the date and the site, and a quote.
- We arrive in good time and start the roast under cover.
- The team carves and serves on time.
- We pack away and leave the site as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Henhurst: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Henhurst?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Henhurst from London?
About 22 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do you cater open days with families?
Yes. Give us total numbers and we will cater for all.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Do you cover Henhurst?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
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.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
