Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. At midsummer, it’s light in Lower Arncott until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Name a contact for the day

Lower Arncott questions
How far is Lower Arncott from London?
About 50 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is Lower Arncott too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
You can hire the machine. We’ll talk you through it when we quote.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
Should we warn the neighbours?
It is worth warning them: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. They may want a roll.

Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
- A word with the neighbours
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
Popular choices
- Salads
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Jacket potatoes
- Hog roast rolls
- Crackling
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Rotisserie chicken
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Coleslaw
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us if timings change.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
