Hawthorn: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Bishopstone Cliffs?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
How far is Hawthorn from London?
Roughly 56 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
About the food
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us who does not eat pork
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
How it works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In summer, Hawthorn has daylight until about 9:15pm, which makes garden events easy. In December, with dark by about 3:50pm, lunchtime is best.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We clear away quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to the usual lunch, a hog roast day feels like an outing without leaving home. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
