Your questions about a hog roast in Hamstead Marshall
What’s the nearest station to Hamstead Marshall?
The closest is Kintbury station, roughly 2.4 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Hamstead Marshall?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Do we need a big space?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Describe the space and we will tell you honestly.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do you serve the crackling?
Of course: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
You will not need to worry about the food on the day. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, then clear up.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
