Common questions in Kencot
Is Kencot too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Kencot from London?
Roughly 67 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send us your trader requirements, and we will tell you what we can send.
Do you come to Kencot?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
Do you do fêtes?
We do. Send us the details.
For event organisers in Kencot
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.

How we price a hog roast for your event
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Crockery choices
- How long the roast and service take
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
When you enquire, please mention:
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the event is
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
Name an organiser to meet us.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
