FAQs for Hambledon
Is Hambledon close to London?
About 34 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Hambledon?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
If you are happy to roast and carve, yes. Most people prefer us to cook so they can enjoy the party.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Frequently, yes, if there’s a level spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. A picture helps.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Think about children’s portions
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Request gluten-free rolls
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- Whether you want china
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How long the roast and service take
- Season and day of the week
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Details that help
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Allergies we should know about
- An estimate of numbers
- Your date and serving time
- Any venue rules
Send us the date, the address or GU8 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We will confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
- 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
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
