Questions from Letcombe Regis
Is Letcombe Regis close to London?
About 59 miles from central London.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can you get to rural locations?
We can, given access details. Tell us about tracks and ground.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can you serve at our lunch call?
That is exactly how we work.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to shop-bought sandwiches, a hot hog roast keeps morale up. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Carved to order by a chef

The process
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. In December, daylight in Letcombe Regis ends around 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Tell us the base location.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We roast under cover at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.
