About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Hurstbourne Priors questions
Is Hurstbourne Priors close to London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Andrew?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
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.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Next to doing it all yourself, a catered hog roast gives you the day back. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
How we price a hog roast for your party
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Numbers
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Season and day of the week
- Time on site
The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
When you contact us, please mention:
- An estimate of numbers
- What the outdoor space is like
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Allergies we should know about

Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. 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.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
