What we serve, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, and handy for anyone who doesn’t eat pork.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Access for our equipment, without steps
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Evenings in Sayers Common stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Your questions about a hog roast in Sayers Common
Is Sayers Common too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater after a service at Christ Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
Both are available: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Most people choose catering.
Do we need a big space?
Often, yes, if there is a level, open spot away from the house and trees, as long as we can get the equipment in. A picture helps us check.
What meats can we have?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. Vegetarian and vegan options are available too.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
A hog roast or other catering?
A hog roast has one downside: it’s pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too for anyone who doesn’t eat it. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book our hog roast in Sayers Common
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
