What comes off the roaster

Roast pork

Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.

Rotisserie chicken

Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.

About our hog roast for events in Culham

Every event handles food differently: a catered package paid by the organiser, or a stall selling to visitors. Let us know what you have in mind. Typical bookings include fun runs and sports events and agricultural and country shows, serving hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce.

At a field event near Culham, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. The hog is roasted on site at your event, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

Allergies and dietary needs

Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:

  • Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
  • Signpost the stall clearly
  • Balance the food line-up
  • Put the menu and allergen information on display

If the ground is soft, we’ll need a firm route on and off, especially after rain.

Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who don’t eat pork.

Why choose hog roast for events in Culham?

Our full booking checklist

Working with your venue

For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.

Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.

How the day works

The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. For an autumn event in Culham, sunset is around 7:10pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.

  1. Share the date, site and expected crowds.
  2. We discuss the package or stall options.
  3. We roast on the pitch.
  4. Carving keeps the queue moving.
  5. We clear up and go.

Before we arrive

  • Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
  • Give us final numbers a week or so before
  • Have a level outdoor spot ready

Culham: your questions answered

Do you come out to small places like Culham?

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Is Culham close to London?

Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.

What’s the price?

It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we will quote.

What happens in bad weather?

Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.

Is it pay as you go?

Some events pay for a package, others want a stall. We will work it out together.

What do you need from us on the day?

A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.

Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?

Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.

Do you provide china?

Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.

Space, access and the venue

Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:

  • A queuing area
  • A safe distance from other traders
  • A level pitch

Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Prices and what affects them

We don’t use a fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:

  • Plates or china
  • The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
  • How long the roast and service take
  • Site access

For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

What to tell us

For a quick, accurate price, send us:

  • The date and time of the event
  • Any dietary needs or allergies
  • An estimate of numbers
  • A photo of the cooking area

Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we will check it: use our quote form.

Full catering or machine hire?

If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

  • Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
  • Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
  • Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
  • Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
