Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Think about children’s portions
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so just let us know.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, at extra cost.

Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
How the day works
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can get on with your party in Ramsden. In Ramsden, late May sunsets come at about 9:00pm and midsummer ones at about 9:30pm, so an early-evening carve is normally in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Send a photo of where the roaster could go.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We leave the garden tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Ramsden questions
Is Ramsden 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.
How far is Ramsden from London?
About 64 miles from central London.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Generally, yes, so we get the amounts right.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Is our garden suitable?
Describe the space and the way in, and we will give you an honest answer.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
Give them a heads-up, especially if the roaster is near a fence.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
