FAQs for Forest Hill
How far is Forest Hill from London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London.
Could you cook in Shotover Country Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you feed everyone in a short break?
Give us your break time and numbers and we’ll plan around them.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
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.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some staff will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, and handy for anyone who doesn’t eat pork.
For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.

How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your staff will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In Forest Hill, summer evenings stay light until about 9:25pm, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. In late September, the light goes at about 7:10pm.
