- We agree our position with locations.
- We cook at base.
- Service is quick.
- We leave base tidy.
Before we arrive

Diets, allergies and alternatives

If lunch moves, we hold the roast a little.

- One contact for the day
- Sign-off from the location
- Shelter for crew
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Speen: your questions answered
Is Speen 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.
Which station is closest to Speen?
Saunderton station, about 2.1 miles south-west of the centre.
What about crew who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you go to remote locations?
Send the location and access notes and we will plan the journey.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
