Denchworth questions
Do you come out to small places like Denchworth?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Denchworth from London?
About 59 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your shoot for a quote.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
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’ll bring the rest.
Organising for someone else?
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Why choose a hog roast in Denchworth?
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What you get with us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Timed around your day

What affects the price in Denchworth
There is no fixed price list, because every shoot is different. The main factors are:
- How many people are eating
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Travel to Denchworth
