How our hog roast for events works in Huntercombe
How the food is paid for depends on the event: a package or a pay-as-you-go stall. Let us know what you have in mind. For PTA summer fairs and vintage rallies, we can cook rotisserie chicken, crackling and apple sauce and more.
Summer fairs around Huntercombe are frequently run by volunteers, so a self-contained hog roast helps. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
Questions from Huntercombe
Could you cook in Haymill Valley?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Which station is closest to Huntercombe?
Huntercombe has its own station: Burnham station.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
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. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
How we price a hog roast for your event
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Crockery choices
- Travel to Huntercombe
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How long the roast and service take
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Roughly how many people
- The venue or postcode
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Send us the date, the address or SL1 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We will check the date and send a quote. Use our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
