Easton questions
Do you come out to small places like Easton?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Easton?
The closest is Winchester station, roughly 2.4 miles away.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can you come to a PTA fair?
We do. Ask the school about vehicles on site.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can you cater in Easton?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to a barbecue stall, carving is faster than grilling to order. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.

The process
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. For an autumn event in Easton, sunset is around 7:10pm in late September, so plan lighting if you are trading into the evening.
- 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 tidy the pitch.
How to prepare
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
