How our hog roast for events works in Clifton Hampden

At a field event near Clifton Hampden, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether you want china
Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.

- Dietary requirements
- The date and when you’d like to eat

Step by step
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Summer events in Clifton Hampden have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We serve to order through the event.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Preparing for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Send final numbers in good time
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Clifton Hampden questions
Do you come out to small places like Clifton Hampden?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Clifton Hampden from London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Is it pay as you go?
It depends on how your event works. Tell us what you have in mind and we will discuss the options.
What do you need from the organiser?
The roaster runs on gas, so no mains power is needed to cook. Power helps for lighting.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Event approval for hot-food traders
- Room for a queue that does not block paths
- Details of what the event requires
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
