Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
East Garston: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like East Garston?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is East Garston close to London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Is our garden suitable?
Tell us about the garden and the access, and we’ll give you an honest answer.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.

Let them know in advance.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
The process
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. A summer party in East Garston stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.

- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you’re ready.
