What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A firm way on and off the field
- Room for a queue that does not block paths
- Permission for cooking on the site
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Common questions in Ludgershall
How far is Ludgershall from London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London.
Is Ludgershall 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.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can you help with a fundraiser?
Tell us about the event and how you’d like to raise money, and we will suggest options.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
What do you need from the organiser?
The roaster runs on gas, so no mains power is needed to cook. Power helps for lighting.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Catered or do it yourself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Organising for someone else?
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
What happens on the day
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. In December, Ludgershall is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Send final numbers in good time
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Gather dietary requirements early

Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
