Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Eddington
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Eddington too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
Can you set up at the unit base?
A level outdoor spot clear of trucks and kit.
Do you have alternatives?
We can add chicken, lamb or vegetarian options.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Who serves?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What a hog roast costs
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Season and day of the week
- How long the roast and service take
- Travel to Eddington
- Which meats and sides you choose
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rough numbers
- Any venue rules
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: fill in our quote form.

For planners, venues and organisers
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Step by step
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. In December, daylight in Eddington ends around 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check the route and send a price.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
