- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.

Why book with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

Is Denchworth too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London.
Do you clear up?

How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.

- Signpost the stall clearly
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
