Ufton Nervet questions
Is Ufton Nervet close to London?
About 43 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Ufton Nervet?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Is it too cold for a hog roast?
Hot food suits winter perfectly.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

Where the roaster can go in Ufton Nervet
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

- Request gluten-free rolls
- Add dietary questions to the invite
We clear away, even on a cold, wet night.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
