Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with ordering in, a hog roast at base is ready on the call. 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.
What you get with us
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Planned to your running order
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- We bring everything to cook and serve
See our prices page or the cost guide.
How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Late-September shoots near Frogmore lose the light at about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Share the location details.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We roast under cover at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We leave base tidy.
How to prepare
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Frogmore questions
Could you cook in Sandhurst Memorial Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Frogmore?
The closest is Sandhurst station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your crew will want somewhere dry to eat.
Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Halal is not offered
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
When lunch is called, we carve fast.
Lamb or chicken gives the crew a choice.
