Step by step
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. After-work summer events in Ball Hill have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer and 8:55pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. In late September, the light goes at about 7:10pm.

What affects the price in Ball Hill
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Plates or china
- How many people are eating
- How easy it is to reach the spot
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

- Any dietary needs or allergies
- What the outdoor space is like
- Any venue rules
- Your menu choices

Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Ball Hill
How far is Ball Hill from London?
Roughly 57 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Ball Hill too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Can it be more formal?
It can be dressed up, depending on the crockery and menu.
Can you set up in our car park?
Most car parks and yards are fine, given level ground and clearance.
Do you cover Ball Hill?
Yes, Ball Hill is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
Can you serve a fixed lunch break?
Give us your break time and numbers and we will make it work.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
