Questions from Hollington
What’s the nearest station to Hollington?
Kintbury station, about 4.9 miles north-west of the centre.
Can you cater after a service at Church of 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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What about the neighbours?
It is worth warning them: roasting takes hours. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Do we need cover?
The roaster has its own cover; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.
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. We don’t offer halal meat.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
How the day works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. At midsummer, it’s light in Hollington until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Send us your party date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the cooking spot, and a quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- When it is time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
How to prepare
- Name a contact for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Think about children’s portions
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us if timings change.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
What affects the price in Hollington
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The number of people
- The date and time of year
- Menu choices and extras
- Time on site
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.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Your menu choices
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Dietary requirements
- An estimate of numbers
When you’re weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. Ours lists it clearly. To get yours, use our quote form.
