Your questions about a hog roast in East Hendred
What’s the nearest station to East Hendred?
The closest is Didcot Parkway station, roughly 4.2 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like East Hendred?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Is it just pork?
The hog is the centrepiece, but lamb and chicken can be added.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.

Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
