Lower Denford questions
Which station is closest to Lower Denford?
Hungerford station, about 0.7 miles west of the centre.
We are gathering after a service at Hungerford Methodist Church: 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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do you come to Lower Denford?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Lower Denford and West Berkshire. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, 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.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, and handy for anyone who does not eat pork.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
