FAQs for Halnaker
How far is Halnaker from London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.

- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
We keep the cooking area away from residents’ windows and paths.
