For event organisers in Elsted

If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Elsted questions
Do you come out to small places like Elsted?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Elsted from London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can a company book?
Get in touch with your details, and the quote will include the terms.
Can you feed everyone in a short break?
We plan the roast around your break. Rolls keep service quick.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long the roast and service take
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The journey to the venue
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- The venue or postcode
- Your menu choices
- Rough numbers
- Dietary requirements
Every staff event is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your staff event for a quote: use our quote form.
The menu, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it is carved the same way.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Step by step
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Lunchtime bookings in Elsted are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
