Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice.

FAQs for Fencott
What’s the nearest station to Fencott?
The closest is Islip station, roughly 3.2 miles away.
We are gathering after a service at Murcott Mission Room: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Tell us about the garden and we will advise.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
How it works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Light matters for a long roast: in Fencott, sunset is around 9:00pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
