What happens on the day
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. In Shenley, summer evenings stay light until about 9:25pm, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. By late September, sunset is around 7:05pm.

Questions from Shenley
Can you do a hog roast in South Loughton Valley park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Do you come out to small places like Shenley?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your staff will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can a company book?
Let us know your company’s booking requirements, and we will explain the booking terms.
Do you cater open days with families?
Yes, a hog roast suits open days, with chicken and vegetarian options for visitors.
Can you set up in our car park?
Most car parks and yards are fine, given level ground and clearance.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers

What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
- A safe distance from walls and vehicles
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
From the roaster
- Coleslaw
- Spit-roast lamb
- Hog roast rolls
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Salads

Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
