Planning the cooking spot

A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:

  • A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
  • Space for our vehicle near the drive
  • A spot well away from the house

Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY versus a catered hog roast

Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.

Roast pork

Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, which keeps it hot and moist.

We are gathering after a service at St James: can you cater?

Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.

Can you work around our timings?

Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.

It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.

Do you come to Over Norton?

Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Over Norton and Oxfordshire. Send us the address for a quote.

What if it rains?

We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.

Can we just hire the roaster?

DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

Can you cater for vegetarians?

The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
