Step by step
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Late-September events in Ramsden lose the light at about 7:10pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day

Common questions in Ramsden
Which station is closest to Ramsden?
Finstock station, about 1.4 miles north-east of the centre.
Do you trade at school fairs around Ramsden?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do you come to Ramsden?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Ramsden and the rest of Oxfordshire included. Send us the address for a quote.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
What do you need from the organiser?
Cooking is gas-fired. Power helps for lighting.
Catered or do it yourself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
