Common questions in Shepherd's Green
Is Shepherd's Green too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Shepherd's Green close to London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London.
Do you trade at village fêtes?
Yes, fêtes are a natural fit. Send us the details.
What will our event need from you?
Tell us what your event requires, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Do you do charity events?
Let us know your plans, and we will suggest a way to make it work.
Do you cover Shepherd's Green?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Shepherd's Green and the rest of Oxfordshire included. Send us the address for a quote.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
About the food

Rolls and gluten-free rolls

How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Summer events in Shepherd's Green have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Send final numbers in good time
