Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, for the alternatives
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
We set up on the agreed spot, often first thing, and the roast cooks through the morning.
China crockery is available for client events, quoted separately.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.

Questions from Sunnymead
Can you do a hog roast in Oxford University Parks?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.

Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What paperwork do you provide for our site?
Tell us what your site asks for, and we will confirm what we can provide.
Can it be more formal?
Yes. Add china, sides and a second roast for a more formal feel.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.

Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Can a company book?
Tell us what your accounts team needs when you enquire, and we’ll confirm how booking and payment work.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a restaurant outing, a hog roast keeps everyone on site and saves travel. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, carved to order at the serving station, frequently with mint sauce.
What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your staff will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Lunchtime bookings in Sunnymead are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
- We start with the site, date, numbers and lunch break.

- We serve quickly within your break.
- Afterwards we clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
