How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. For a summer wake in Caulcott, there is light until about 9:30pm, so a garden gathering works well.

What’s the nearest station to Caulcott?

Is Caulcott too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
