Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Dial Post
How far is Dial Post from London?
Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Dial Post too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Is lighting needed?
Yes: the cooking area, serving table and path need lighting after dark. Tell us what’s already there and we’ll plan the rest with you.
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.
What about Christmas markets?
We do Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons. Send us the details.

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
For event organisers in Dial Post
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
