Is Benham Hill close to London?
About 52 miles from central London.
Do you serve the food?

Can you be flexible on serving time?

Can you do a hog roast for a client event?
Yes. Add china, sides and a second roast for a more formal feel.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.

How the day works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In Benham Hill, summer evenings stay light until about 9:25pm, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. By late September, sunset is around 7:10pm.
- We start with the site, date, numbers and lunch break.
- You get a check on the date and the site, and a quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- We serve quickly within your break.
- We pack away and leave the site as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
