Questions from Hunston
How far is Hunston from London?
Roughly 56 miles from the centre of London.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How do you handle allergies?
Every dish comes with allergen information for your team to check.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can relatives eat with residents?
Of course: include them in your numbers.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
We set up under cover in the grounds, following the home’s procedures.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.

What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
