What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Late-December sunset in Tyringham is about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:25pm.
- It starts with the date, venue and when people are expected.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a simple quote.
- We roast quietly while the service takes place.
- Food is ready when people arrive.
- We clear away discreetly.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Send final numbers in good time

Questions from Tyringham
How far is Tyringham from London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
There are chicken, vegetarian and vegan alternatives. We don’t offer halal meat.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Is it a sit-down meal?
Either: rolls for a simple meal, plates with salads and potatoes for a fuller one.

Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A level spot outdoors for the roaster

- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
