Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
We will agree a contact for the day, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Where the roaster can go in Tongwell
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Rotisserie chicken
- Stuffing
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Roast or jacket potatoes

- Coleslaw
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Apple sauce
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children typically like it too.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.

Common questions in Tongwell
Can you do a hog roast in Campbell Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary Magdalene: can you cater?
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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. Vegetarian and vegan options are available too.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
