Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

Upper Farringdon questions
Is Upper Farringdon too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
What paperwork do you provide for our site?
Tell us what your site asks for, and we’ll tell you what we can send.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you set up in our car park?
Most car parks and yards are fine, if there’s a level spot away from buildings and vehicles.
What if it rains?
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.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Planning the cooking spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
- A covered area or canteen for wet weather
- Sign-off for outside caterers
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
