About our party hog roast in Clapton

For guests coming by train, Kintbury station, about 1.8 miles south, is the nearest station. Nearby historic houses include Benham Park (3.9 miles south-east). If you are hiring a historic venue for a big birthday, check its rules on outside caterers first.

What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, because every party is different. What matters most:
- The date and time of year
- Menu choices and extras
- Whether you want china
- Access to the cooking area
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Anything the venue has asked for

How it works
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your party. Evening parties in Clapton need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:10pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you are ready.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
How to prepare
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
Make sure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Working with your venue
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
