Step by step
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. For an evening party in Hambledon, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:10pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.

Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, 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.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
Have a word with the neighbours first: roasting takes hours and the smell travels.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
FAQs for Hambledon
How far is Hambledon from London?
About 58 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul?
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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Is our garden suitable?
Tell us about the garden and the access, and we’ll give you an honest answer.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
