Hunton: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Hunton?
The closest is Micheldever station, roughly 2.9 miles away.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St James: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can we cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Catering is the easier option.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
The process
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. By late September, sunset in Hunton is about 7:10pm; by December it is about 4:00pm. Plan lights for the path and the food.
- Send a picture of where the roaster could go.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook for hours on site.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We clear up so you don’t have to.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Give us a contact number for the day

What you get with us
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- A wet-weather plan for guests
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
