- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.

- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
If you are 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.
Your questions about a hog roast for your event in The Hangers
Is The Hangers close to London?
Roughly 60 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to The Hangers?
Botley station, about 4.7 miles south-west of the centre.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What about visitors who do not eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a barbecue stall, a hog roast serves quickly from one roast. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why us?
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
