Caldecote: your questions answered
Can you come to a school fair in Caldecote?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
How far is Caldecote from London?
About 48 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Can you help with a fundraiser?
We are happy to talk it through.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can visitors buy their own food?
Some events pay for a package, others want a stall. We’ll agree what suits yours.
The process
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your visitors, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Summer events in Caldecote have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.

What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
