Common questions in Whitchurch-on-Thames
What’s the nearest station to Whitchurch-on-Thames?
The closest is Pangbourne station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Is Whitchurch-on-Thames close to London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you do wrap parties?
We do. Tell us the date and location.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your crew will want somewhere dry to eat.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Do you cover Whitchurch-on-Thames?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Whitchurch-on-Thames and the rest of Oxfordshire included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.

How we price a hog roast for the crew
Things that change the price:
- How long the roast and service take
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The number of people
- Whether you want china
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- The venue or postcode

The process
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In December, daylight in Whitchurch-on-Thames ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.

- We leave base tidy.
How to prepare
