Planning help
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
Popular choices
- Jacket potatoes
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

- Coleslaw
- Crackling
- Salads
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Rotisserie chicken
- Halloumi skewers (V)
Should I cook it myself?
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.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we will plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Common questions in Dummer
How far is Dummer from London?
About 50 miles from central London.
Can you cater after a service at Church of All Saints?
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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do we need cover?
Not for the cooking, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. They may want a roll.
Why choose a hog roast in Dummer?
Compared with a barbecue, no one gets stuck at the grill, and everyone eats together. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
