Ramsnest Common questions
Do you come out to small places like Ramsnest Common?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Ramsnest Common?
The closest is Witley station, roughly 3 miles away.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.

It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.

Can you come to our fête?
A hog roast suits a fête perfectly. Get in touch.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you trade at school events?
School fairs suit a hog roast. Ask the school about vehicles on site.
Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
For event organisers in Ramsnest Common
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

How the day works

Late-September events in Ramsnest Common lose the light at about 7:05pm, so plan lighting if you are trading into the evening.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We serve to order through the event.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Preparing for the day
