Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Caldecott
Can you do a hog roast in Albert Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Is Caldecott close to London?
About 53 miles from central London.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Is our garden suitable?
Most gardens can work, given access for the equipment. Send us a picture.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. For an evening party in Caldecott, think about light: it is light until about 9:25pm in June but only about 7:10pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- Show us the garden or drive.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- We serve when you’re ready.
- We clear up so you do not have to.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Catered or do it yourself?
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.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
