A closer look at the menu
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it’s carved the same way, often with mint sauce.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
How it works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. On a winter shoot near Hunton, the light goes by about 3:50pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:15pm.

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Hunton
Is Hunton too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Could you cook in Quarry Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
