- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Show allergens at the stall
- Plan separately for halal if needed
Name an organiser to meet us, especially for big events.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.

FAQs for Upper Arncott
How far is Upper Arncott from London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London.
Is Upper Arncott too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Is electricity needed?
Cooking is gas-fired. Power helps for lighting.
Can you help with a fundraiser?
Tell us about the event and how you’d like to raise money, and we’ll suggest options.
Is it pay as you go?
That depends on the event. Let us know how you’d like it to work and we’ll discuss the options.
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.
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
