Common questions in Lambourn
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Michael and All Angels?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you cater at venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do we need a big space?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Describe the space and we’ll tell you honestly.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
It’s built around the hog, but lamb and chicken can be added.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.

What affects the price in Lambourn
Each price is built from:
- Travel to Lambourn
- Whether you want china
- Menu choices and extras
- Access to the cooking area
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Details that help
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Roughly how many people
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The address or postcode
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we will check it: use our quote form.
The process
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. By late September, sunset in Lambourn is around 7:10pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 4:00pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We check the space and quote.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know about tight access

What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

- Crackling
- New potatoes
- Stuffing
- Roast or jacket potatoes

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with food vans, a hog roast feeds a crowd quickly from one roast, with no waiting for individual orders to cook. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
