East Garston Woodlands questions
What’s the nearest station to East Garston Woodlands?
Hungerford station, about 4.1 miles south of the centre.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do we need our own staff?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do you cover East Garston Woodlands?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, East Garston Woodlands and the rest of West Berkshire included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
How the day works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. For an autumn event in East Garston Woodlands, sunset is around 7:10pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
