A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast does not need a kitchen, which frequently makes it better value. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why book with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Timed around your day

Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
The process
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. Around midsummer it stays light in Little Horwood until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
FAQs for Little Horwood
Is Little Horwood too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Little Horwood from London?
About 46 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Will people get crackling?
Of course: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
