What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Clearance from trucks, kit and trees
- A named contact at base
- The location manager’s agreement
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
From the roaster
- Salads
- New potatoes
- Rotisserie chicken
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Spit-roast lamb
- Hog roast rolls
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

What we serve, dish by dish

For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Next to shop-bought sandwiches, hot food makes a difference on a long day. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why Little Coxwell hosts choose us
- Our staff serve and clear
- Planned to your running order
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
We pack away straight after service.
Sides make a proper lunch.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
