Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Let us know roughly how many children
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- How long the roast and service take
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Numbers
- How easy it is to reach the spot
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Where the event is
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- A photo of the cooking area
- Allergies we should know about
When you are weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. Ours lists it clearly. To get yours, use our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A heads-up for next door
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

The process
Your timings come first. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. At midsummer, it’s light in Foxcotte until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.

Foxcotte: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Foxcotte?
Andover station, about 1.2 miles south-east of the centre.
Can you cater after a service at St Thomas?
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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Describe the space and the way in, and we will tell you if it works.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Can we cook it ourselves?
Yes, DIY machine hire is available. We’ll talk you through it when we quote.
