The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook. In Epsom, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve inside or out.
- We clear away quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The journey to the venue
- Access to the cooking area
- How long the roast and service take

When you contact us, please mention:
- The venue or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Roughly how many people
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
