Planners, venues and businesses

If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Upper Woolhampton: your questions answered
How far is Upper Woolhampton from London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Upper Woolhampton too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
How does hog roast hire work?
We roast on site, carve to order and serve, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. By late September, sunset in Upper Woolhampton is around 7:10pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 4:00pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Getting ready for the day

Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
Name someone to meet us, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
China crockery is available on request, at an extra cost.
Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
