Shellingford: your questions answered
Is Shellingford close to London?
About 63 miles from central London.
Is Shellingford too small for a hog roast?

How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your shoot for a quote.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send us your requirements, and we will confirm what we can provide.
Do you come to Shellingford?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Compared with sandwiches from a shop, a hot hog roast keeps morale up. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. In December, daylight in Shellingford ends around 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:30pm.
- Tell us the base location.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.
- We tidy up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
