Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, because every staff event is different. The main factors are:
- How many people are eating
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Plates or china
- Which meats and sides you choose
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Getting an accurate quote
These are the details we need:
- Roughly how many people
- What the outdoor space is like
- Dietary requirements
- The date and when you’d like to eat

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to street-food vans, a hog roast feeds plenty of people quickly from one roast. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why Boxley hosts choose us
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Timed around your day

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll, just as they should.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Step by step
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Lunchtime bookings in Boxley are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
