Which station is closest to Upper Enham?
The closest is Andover station, roughly 2.8 miles away.
Can you cater after a service at Saint George?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.

Do you do DIY hire for parties?
You can hire the machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.

Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.

How the day works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Autumn parties in Upper Enham get dark early: about 7:10pm by late September and 4:00pm by December. Plan lights for the path and the food.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Planning help
Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
Planning for dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Let us know roughly how many children
We get there early to start the roast, so it is cooking when guests arrive.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.

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.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
