Organising for someone else?
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Letcombe Bassett questions
Do you come out to small places like Letcombe Bassett?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cater at venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.

What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Site access
- Numbers
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

- The address or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to cold food, hot food is popular in any season. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

- Timed around your day
- Sides to make it a full meal

See our prices page and what a hog roast costs.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Remember stuffing generally contains gluten
Give us a contact on the day.
The vegan option is popular at festivals.
A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Step by step
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. At midsummer, events in Letcombe Bassett stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- 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.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Preparing for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Name a contact for the day
- Think about shelter for your visitors

Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
