Questions from Upper Lambourn
Is Upper Lambourn too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.

Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.

Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
How we price a hog roast for your team
Each price is built from:
- How many people are eating
- Whether you want china
- Access to the cooking area
- The journey to the venue
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Open days in Upper Lambourn normally finish in daylight, though in winter it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so late events need lighting.
