The process
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Light matters for a long roast: in Frilford Heath, sunset is around 9:00pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.

- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Preparing for the day

How we price a hog roast
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Crockery choices
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Numbers
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- A photo of the cooking area
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Where the event is
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.
Questions from Frilford Heath
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Lawrence?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Frilford Heath close to London?
Roughly 56 miles from the centre of London.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you cover Frilford Heath?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
Let us know if the day runs late: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
A closer look at the menu
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll, just as they should.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Planning the cooking spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Should I cook it myself?
