Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Sparsholt
How far is Sparsholt from London?
Roughly 61 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is there a non-pork option?
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 cover Sparsholt?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Sparsholt and the rest of Oxfordshire included. Send us the address for a quote.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Where on site can you cook?
A car park, yard or grounds usually works, if there is a level spot away from buildings and vehicles.
What about family fun days?
Yes, a hog roast suits open days, with chicken and vegetarian options for visitors.
Is a hog roast smart enough for clients?
With china and sides, it works well for clients.
Working with your venue
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Step by step
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. After-work summer events in Sparsholt have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer and 9:00pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. In late September, the light goes at about 7:10pm.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
