Questions from Gawcott
Do you come out to small places like Gawcott?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you come to a school fair in Gawcott?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Can you help with a fundraiser?
Let us know your plans, and we’ll suggest options.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what your event requires, and we will confirm what we can provide.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

Working with your venue
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.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Step by step
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In late May, sunset in Gawcott is about 9:00pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:25pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
