Owslebury Bottom: your questions answered
How far is Owslebury Bottom from London?
Roughly 61 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Owslebury Bottom too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
What about staff who do not eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
Do you need a car park?
A car park, yard or grounds usually works, if there is a level spot away from buildings and vehicles.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.

The process
Here’s how the day normally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. For a staff lunch in Owslebury Bottom, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.
