Liss Forest: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Liss Forest?
The closest is Liss station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Is Liss Forest close to London?
About 46 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
What happens if it’s dark?
After dark, the serving area and the path to it need lighting. Tell us what’s already there and we will plan the rest with you.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- How many people are eating
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Plates or china
- The journey to the venue
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture

The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, served in a roll with salads.
For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
