Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with cooking for everyone yourself, you get to enjoy the party. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Access to the cooking area
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The date and time of year

Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Any venue rules
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the event is

Common questions in Lambourn
How far is Lambourn from London?
Roughly 62 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you cater at venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
Yes, for confident cooks. Catering is the easier option.
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.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: use our quote form.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors 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 by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
