Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Questions from Cottonworth
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary the Less?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you do a hog roast in Longstock Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Do you cover Cottonworth?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Cottonworth and Hampshire. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Do you serve the crackling?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Why choose a hog roast in Cottonworth?
Next to a street-food van, a hog roast feeds a crowd quickly from one roast, with no waiting for individual orders to cook. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why book with us
- Carved to order by a chef
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- A choice of salads and potatoes
