Slow-roasted pork in Mongewell

A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in Mongewell: a single slow roast, carved to order. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and our staff serve and clear. We serve spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls, and we’re often booked for wedding breakfasts and evening food and sports clubs and societies.
In a rural place like Mongewell, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Let us know about access and ground conditions. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why Mongewell hosts choose us
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Planned to your running order
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Crackling for everyone who wants it

Your questions about a hog roast in Mongewell
Could you cook in Kinecroft?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
How far is Mongewell from London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is our garden big enough?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Tell us about the garden and we’ll advise.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
How we price a hog roast
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Site access
- Plates or china
- Travel to Mongewell
- Menu choices and extras
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
Details that help
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- The address or postcode
- Allergies we should know about
- An estimate of numbers
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. We spell it out in ours. To get yours, fill in our quote form.
What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Late September evenings in Mongewell lose the light at about 7:10pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Name a contact for the day

Looking after everyone
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
We will agree a contact for the day, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
Organising for someone else?
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Access for our equipment, without steps
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
