Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in South Stoke
Is South Stoke 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.

Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.

Add alternatives to suit your crew.

What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Step by step
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your crew will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Because the roast starts early, and in December South Stoke is dark by about 3:55pm.
