Common questions in Pitchcott
Is Pitchcott too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St. Giles: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
Should we warn the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: roasting takes hours. They may want a roll.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Often, yes, if there’s a level spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a photo.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. By late September, sunset in Pitchcott is about 7:05pm; by December it is about 3:55pm. Light the garden path and the serving area.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Planning for dietary needs

- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so it’s cooking when guests arrive.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- A word with the neighbours
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- Somewhere for us to park nearby

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
How we price a hog roast for your party
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether you want china
- The journey to the venue
- Site access
- The date and time of year
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Details that help
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Rough numbers
- What the outdoor space is like
- Your menu choices
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
For event organisers in Pitchcott
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
