A hog roast near Upper Froyle
The process
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Late September evenings in Upper Froyle lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it is nearer 4:00pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Give us a contact number for the day

Full catering or machine hire?

DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.

About the food

A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Season and day of the week
- Plates or china
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Getting an accurate quote
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Your date and serving time
- The address or postcode
- What the outdoor space is like
- Your menu choices
Every event is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your event: send us your details through our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Parking near the spot
- Access for our equipment, without steps
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains

- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
