Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

FAQs for Postcombe
Is Postcombe 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.
How far is Postcombe from London?
About 40 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
What about crew who do not eat pork?
We can add chicken, lamb or vegetarian options.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can you set up at the unit base?
Normally, if there is a level, open spot for the roaster under cover. We will agree it with your location manager.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.

Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Flat ground at the unit base

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

How it works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your crew, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. At midsummer, daylight in Postcombe lasts until about 9:25pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We pack away straight after.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
