A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Looking after everyone
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Common questions in Worplesdon

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is Worplesdon close to London?
About 27 miles from central London.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.

Where the roaster can go in Worplesdon

- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
- Room for a queue that does not block paths
- A firm way on and off the field
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Planners, venues and businesses
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
How it works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. In December, Worplesdon is dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We tidy the pitch.
Getting ready for the day
