Common questions in Preston
What’s the nearest station to Preston?
Preston has its own station: Preston Park station.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you cover Preston?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Preston and Brighton and Hove. Send us the address for a quote.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
How early should we book for Christmas?
The earlier the better. Midweek dates are easier.
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.

Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a traditional sit-down Christmas lunch, a hog roast is more relaxed. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why book with us
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- A choice of salads and potatoes
Read our prices page and our hog roast cost guide.
What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.
What affects the price in Preston
The biggest factors are:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The journey to the venue
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How many people are eating
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
