Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Step by step
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Sunset in Capstone is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is typically in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:50pm, need lights by the roaster.

- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Common questions in Capstone
Can you cater after a service at All Saints Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
How far is Capstone from London?
About 30 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
Do we need to wash up?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
Looking after everyone
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
We get there early to start the roast, so it’s cooking when guests arrive.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
How we price a hog roast for your party
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The journey to the venue
- How many people are eating
- How long the roast and service take
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Your date and serving time
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The address or postcode
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A photo of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.
