Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, for the alternatives
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Request gluten-free rolls
We set up on the agreed spot, often first thing, then roast through the morning.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.

Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Swerford
Is Swerford too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Swerford from London?
Roughly 67 miles from the centre of London.
What paperwork do you provide for our site?
Tell us what your site asks for, and we will tell you what we can send.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Where the roaster can go in Swerford
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A named contact for the day
- A covered area or canteen for wet weather
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

The process
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Open days in Swerford usually finish in daylight, but in December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so late events need lighting.
- Start with the date, site and numbers.
- We sort access and send a quote.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Service is fast once we carve.
- We leave the site clean.
How to prepare
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Gather dietary requirements early

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with sandwich platters, a hog roast is hot, fresh and feels like an event. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why book with us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
