Sulhamstead Bannister Upper End questions
Do you come out to small places like Sulhamstead Bannister Upper End?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is Sulhamstead Bannister Upper End close to London?
About 43 miles from central London.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, with our staff serving.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Working with your venue
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.

What else we do in Sulhamstead Bannister Upper End
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Lighting for evening service
- A way in for the roaster
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
From the roaster
- Hog roast rolls
- New potatoes
- Crackling
- Roast or jacket potatoes
- Spit-roast lamb
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Salads
- Rotisserie chicken
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Stuffing and apple sauce
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Note which guests do not eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
We’ll be at the venue for most of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Choose sides to make it a full meal.

Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.

Catered or do it yourself?

We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In Sulhamstead Bannister Upper End, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, which means an evening hog roast is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
