About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing generally contains gluten.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A named contact for the day
- Sign-off for outside caterers
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Highclere
Is Highclere close to London?
Roughly 56 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like Highclere?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
What about family fun days?
We do. Give us total numbers and we’ll plan for everyone.
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.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Working with your venue
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Step by step
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Evening staff events in Highclere need light after sunset: sunset ranges from about 9:25pm in June to 4:00pm in December.
- Start with the date, site and numbers.
- We check with facilities and quote.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We carve and serve quickly.
- We clear up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
Getting a price
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.

Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Find out how many do not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
Give us a contact on site for the day, so we can find you quickly.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch.
Full catering or machine hire?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
