A closer look at the menu
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Questions from Overton
Is Overton close to London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London.

Do you need power or water?

Is a hog roast smart enough for clients?
It can be dressed up, depending on the crockery and menu.

Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can you feed everyone in a short break?
Give us your break time and numbers and we will make it work.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
Give us a contact on site for the day.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch.
Planning the cooking spot
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Sign-off for outside caterers
- A safe distance from walls and vehicles
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What a hog roast costs
The price comes down to:
- How many people are eating
- Time on site
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Travel to Overton
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What we need to know
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Roughly how many people
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Dietary requirements
To get a quote, just send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.
What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Evening staff events in Overton need light after sunset: about 9:25pm in June, 7:10pm in late September and 4:00pm in December.
- Tell us where, when, how many and when you eat.
