Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

How the day works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Light matters for a long roast: in Wallingford, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.

Questions from Wallingford
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
We’re gathering after a service at St Mary-le-More: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Do you cook it or do we?
You can have us cook, or hire the machine. We will explain what’s included in each when we quote.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- Access for our equipment, without steps
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
We’ll agree a contact for the day, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
