The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Common questions in Fawley
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Which station is closest to Fawley?
Henley-On-Thames station, about 2.7 miles south of the centre.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
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 space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
Can you do a school fair?
School fairs suit a hog roast. Check vehicle access with the school.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.

What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- Site access
- Travel to Fawley
- Time on site
- Crockery choices
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
To get the best quote, send us:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The address or postcode
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- What the outdoor space is like
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or RG9 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In late May, sunset in Fawley is about 8:55pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:25pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Tell us about the event.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Send final numbers in good time
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
