FAQs for Yarnton
Is Yarnton too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Yarnton from London?
Roughly 56 miles from the centre of London.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you trade at school events?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the details.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Space, access and the venue
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- A queuing area
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
- A firm way on and off the field
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

How the day works
Here’s how the day generally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In late May, sunset in Yarnton is about 9:00pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:30pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We tidy the pitch.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
