Slow-roasted pork in Denchworth
Denchworth: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at Church of St James?
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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How far is Denchworth from London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can we offer lamb too?
Yes, spit-roast lamb can go alongside the pork.
How much room do you 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 confirm the space with your quote.
Do you come to Denchworth?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
It depends on the venue. Ask your venue early, and we’ll liaise with them.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling go down well after dancing.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.

What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- Whether you want china
- How long the roast and service take
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Distance from us
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What to tell us

- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of the cooking area
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.
Step by step
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.

Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Give your coordinator the final menu
We serve and clear without fuss, and leave you to celebrate.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.

We are booked for all kinds of occasions in Denchworth and nearby. Popular bookings include:

Marrying at Church of St James? A reception in a garden, barn or marquee close by gives the roaster an outdoor spot.
Questions to ask before you book
- Plates, china and cutlery
- Staffing on the day
- How long the roast takes and when they’ll arrive
- The space, cover and access they need
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
