Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Horton: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Horton Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
How far is Horton from London?
About 13 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can you feed everyone in a short break?
Give us your break time and numbers and we’ll make it work.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
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.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- 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
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, and the roast cooks through the morning.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch, quoted separately.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, everyone gets to join in. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why book with us
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Timed around your day
