Common questions in Worting
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Thomas A Becket: can you cater?
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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
How far is Worting from London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London.
What happens in bad weather?
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.
Can we cook it ourselves?
If you are happy to roast and carve, yes. Catering is the easier option.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.

Planning for dietary needs

- Find out who does not eat pork for the alternatives
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
Step by step
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. A summer party in Worting stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
