A closer look at the menu
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
What the cooking area needs
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- A spot well away from the house
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
- A word with the neighbours
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Working with your venue
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 the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Think about children’s portions
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
We get there early to start the roast, so it is cooking when guests arrive.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
Little Heath: your questions answered
Is Little Heath close to London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London.
Can you do a hog roast in Calcot Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you come to Little Heath?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
What about the neighbours?
It’s worth warning them: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
You can hire the machine. We will talk you through it when we quote.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Yes, and tell us how many children are coming, so we can plan quantities.
Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
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.
How it works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. By late September, sunset in Little Heath is about 7:10pm; by December it is about 3:55pm. Plan lights for the path and the food.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- When it’s time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear up and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Name a contact for the day
