About our hog roast for events in Alvescot
Every event handles food differently: a package or a pay-as-you-go stall. Let us know what you have in mind. We are frequently asked to cater agricultural and country shows and charity days, serving rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and crackling.
Near Alvescot, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hog roast is a welcome sight. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

Alvescot questions
Can you come to a school fair in Alvescot?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
How far is Alvescot from London?
About 67 miles from central London.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.

Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can you come to a PTA fair?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch.
For event organisers in Alvescot
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Why choose a hog roast in Alvescot?
Compared with a volunteer-run kitchen, we take the cooking off your volunteers. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Planning for dietary needs

We carve to order through the agreed hours.

What happens on the day

- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We tidy the pitch.
How to prepare
