Crampmoor questions
Do you come out to small places like Crampmoor?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you trade at school fairs around Crampmoor?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Can you cater in Crampmoor?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Crampmoor and the rest of Hampshire included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.

The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. In December, Crampmoor is dark by about 4:00pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Tell us about the event.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Getting ready for the day
