FAQs for Buscot
Do you come out to small places like Buscot?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater after a service at The Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What about kids?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, with chicken as an alternative.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
Is our garden suitable?
Often, yes, if there’s a level spot away from the house and trees, given access for the equipment. Send us a picture.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Events we cater in Buscot

- Summer parties in the garden

- Anniversary parties
- Reunions
If the day starts at The Church of St Mary, the roast can be ready when everyone gets back.

- Plates, china and cutlery
- The space, cover and access they need
- How dietary needs are handled
- How many staff will carve and serve
A closer look at the menu
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
We set up in the agreed spot, so the party carries on around us.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
