Catered or do it yourself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
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.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, timed for the gates opening.
Chicken widens the choice.

Lambourn Woodlands questions
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What’s the nearest station to Lambourn Woodlands?
Hungerford station, about 4.6 miles south of the centre.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Can you come to our fête?
We do. Tell us the date, pitch and how food will be paid for.
Can you help with a fundraiser?
Get in touch.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
What the cooking area needs
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- A queuing area
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
- Event approval for hot-food traders

How the day works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your visitors will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Summer events in Lambourn Woodlands have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
How to prepare
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
