FAQs for Pangbourne
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
How far is Pangbourne from London?
About 43 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you cover Pangbourne?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Pangbourne and the rest of Oxfordshire included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
It depends on the venue. Check with them first, and we will work with them on the details.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
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.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What happens on the day
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. At a December wedding in Pangbourne, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.

Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
