Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
How it works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your staff, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Lunchtime bookings in Hamstreet are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.

How we price a hog roast for your team
Things that change the price:
- Season and day of the week
- Plates or china
- How many people are eating
- Menu choices and extras
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Rough numbers
- A picture of the cooking area
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Use our quote form.
A hog roast or other catering?
For client events, add china, sides and a second roast for a more polished feel. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
What you get with us
- Served at the time you choose
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

Hamstreet questions
Is Hamstreet too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Hamstreet from London?
About 51 miles from central London.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you cover Hamstreet?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Hamstreet and Kent. Send us the address for a quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
