Thames Ditton: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Giggs Hill Green?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Is Thames Ditton close to London?
About 13 miles from central London.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Do you come to Thames Ditton?
Yes, Thames Ditton is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.

- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten

- Request gluten-free rolls

We arrive in daylight to set up and start roasting, then roast through the afternoon.
