About the food
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
Lambourn Woodlands questions
Do you come out to small places like Lambourn Woodlands?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater after a service at St Mary's Church?
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.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
If you are happy to roast and carve, yes. Catering is the easier option.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Do we need cover?
The roaster has its own cover; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
