Organising for someone else?
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a buffet, hot carved pork feels more special, and nothing sits out all afternoon. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.

The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Sparsholt
Do you come out to small places like Sparsholt?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is Sparsholt close to London?
About 61 miles from central London.
Do we need cover?
Not for the cooking, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
Yes, for confident cooks. Most people prefer us to cook so they can enjoy the party.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
Do we need to wash up?
We tidy the serving area.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
What the cooking area needs
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
- A wet-weather plan for guests
- A spot well away from the house
