Where the roaster can go in Padbury
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains

Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

FAQs for Padbury
Do you come out to small places like Padbury?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin?
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.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Should we warn the neighbours?
Let them know in advance.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
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 happens on the day
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. By late September, sunset in Padbury is about 7:10pm; by December it’s about 3:55pm. Light the garden path and the serving area.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Warn the neighbours: the roast cooks for hours.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
