What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:

- A heads-up for next door

Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
We get there early to start the roast, so it’s cooking when guests arrive.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, quoted separately.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
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.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in West Hagbourne
Do you come out to small places like West Hagbourne?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cater at venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Most gardens can work, and a way to wheel the equipment through. A photo helps.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
How we price a hog roast for your party
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance from us
- Time on site
- Site access
- Plates or china
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The venue or postcode
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Rules from the venue or landowner
For a quote, send us a few details: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Fill in our quote form.
What happens on the day
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Sunset in West Hagbourne is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is normally in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We set up hours ahead.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
