Hawkley questions
Is Hawkley too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is Hawkley close to London?
About 48 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can it be more formal?
With china and sides, it works well for clients.
Can you send documents for facilities?
Each site is different: pass on your list and we’ll respond.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.

Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Request gluten-free rolls
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, then roast through the morning.
Add rotisserie chicken or lamb for choice.
Organising for someone else?
If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
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.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
