Common questions in Ewshot
Can you do a hog roast in Basingbourne Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Ewshot from London?
About 36 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Many couples do exactly that, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Do you come to Ewshot?
We do. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Step-free access for our equipment
- Light near the carving station after dark
- A serving area close to where guests eat
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

How we price a hog roast for your wedding
The biggest factors are:
- Distance from us
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Season and day of the week
- Whether you want china
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Rough numbers
- The venue or postcode
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Your date and serving time
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
What happens on the day
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Winter weddings in Ewshot are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- Our staff clear the serving area and we leave quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
Ask for a quote
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.

Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Give final numbers in good time
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
You will not have to think about the food. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Why choose a hog roast in Ewshot?
