It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.

How it works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Light matters for a long roast: in Odiham, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the space and quote.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Think about shelter for your guests
