Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.

Swingfield Minnis questions
How far is Swingfield Minnis from London?
About 60 miles from central London.
What’s the nearest station to Swingfield Minnis?
The closest is Shepherds Well station, roughly 4.1 miles away.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can you feed staff and families?
Yes. Include visitors in your numbers and we’ll plan for everyone.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you need a car park?
Most car parks and yards are fine, given level ground and clearance.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Catered or do it yourself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with individual food vans, carving serves the whole team fast. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why Swingfield Minnis hosts choose us
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
